The Differing Roles of a Ghostwriter and a Writing Coach



Gregg Gonzales, founder of The SpeakEasy Method, believes there are some similarities between ghostwriting and the type of coaching he does for writers, but there are also some differences. Ghostwriters are typically seasoned writers that interview their clients and develop a book manuscript on behalf of their clients from that interview content.

With The SpeakEasy Method, Gonzales and his team coach and support writers to write their own stories through a series of sessions where interviews are recorded and played back for the writers. It's important to Gonzales that his writer clients are able to capture their true voice in the process, and not the voice of someone trying to emulate them. Both approaches can have value depending on the circumstances, but Gonzales believes in writers doing the work and he uses The SpeakEasy Method to help get them to the finish.
