Ep. #289: Getting to the Heart: Curiosity & Ghost Writing, with Laura Zigman
Update: 2025-07-23
Description
How does a ghost writer get to the juiciest heart of their subject?
Laura Zigman is the author of six novels and has ghostwritten and/or collaborated on multiple memoirs and non-fiction books. We have fun talking about writing with someone -- not about them -- and getting their voice right; the line between curiosity and nosiness; compassion, empathy, trust and asking questions with kindness; respecting boundaries; and the honor of hearing another's stories.
