How To Overcome Imposter Syndrome As A Ghostwriter
I’ve felt like an imposter as a ghostwriter many times.
Even though my clients have consistently praised my work and I’ve been hired for multiple projects, there was always a nagging voice in the back of my head.
I wasn’t good enough.
I wasn’t a “real” writer.
I was just faking it.
This feeling of inadequacy is known as imposter syndrome, and it’s something that plagues many creative professionals, including ghostwriters.
I was just faking it and eventually, someone would find out.
As a ghostwriter, dealing with imposter syndrome can be tough, you know?
You’re basically writing for someone else, so it’s totally normal to wonder if your writing truly captures their voice and ideas.
And since you’re not getting direct credit, it’s easy to feel like a bit of an imposter in the writing world.
But here’s the thing: if clients keep coming back and loving your work, then you’re a talented writer.
You’ve got the knack for expressing their thoughts and ideas in a way that really connects with readers.
That’s pretty awesome, right?
