Let’s talk about something most ghostwriters don’t figure out until it’s too late:
Your name might not be on it—but your energy is all over it.
That’s why ethics + boundaries matter more than likes or invoices.
Here’s what that looks like in the real world:
🚫 You don’t write someone’s story if it conflicts with your values.
🚫 You don’t take on trauma-heavy projects without clear emotional boundaries.
🚫 You don’t let clients “take over” your time, your brain, or your weekends.
Ghostwriting should never feel like soul-selling or energy draining.
If you’re constantly saying “yes” to the wrong stories or undercharging just to keep a client happy, you’re not building a writing career—you’re building resentment.
Boundaries are part of the business model. And ethics? That’s what keeps your reputation solid, even behind the scenes.
