Wanna Stand Out As a Writer? Start by Copying
Unveiling the ghostwriting game changer
Starting your writing journey is tough.
You might feel overwhelmed, unsure of where to start, and plagued by imposter syndrome. But here’s the truth: every successful writer has been where you are now. They didn’t start from scratch. They mimicked the masters, then blazed their own trail.
Here’s how you can do it, too.
Breaking Industry Rules to Achieve Unprecedented Success
Successful writers didn’t just magically find their voice.
They studied others. They borrowed techniques and styles from those they admired. Your first step is to do the same. Read voraciously. Pay attention to the structures, the rhythms, the techniques. Notice what resonates with you and what doesn’t.
For example, if you’re a fan of memoirs, pick up books by authors like Cheryl Strayed or Tara Westover. Dissect their chapters. How do they start? How do they build tension? What makes their stories compelling?
To get started, find three writers you admire. Dive deep into their work. Take notes on what you like and what you don’t. This isn’t about copying — it’s about learning.
