Hi friends!

You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers.

H asks: I am starting to get SO frustrated that I can't seem to move beyond where I am stuck. At this point in my career, I have ghost-written more than 20 books, a few of them best-sellers, but I can't seem to find a way to move out of being way-too-busy-and-increasingly underpaid plateau. I am usually writing between five and seven books at a time so I can invoice enough the make ends meet. Which brings me to you. Do you have any advice for ghostwriters who want to find an agent? I have taken all the classes, attended all the conferences, and queried everyone I can think of - but everyone ghosts the ghost back. 

I don't have a "work" to share, so I don't seem to get through the filters. Is there something I'm missing? Do you have any advice for someone like me?
