Anjanette “AJ” Harper has ghostwritten over 100 books (!) and is the writing partner for Mike Michalowicz, and together they’ve written six books, including Profit First, The Pumpkin Plan, Fix This Next, and their latest, Get Different. After all that, she finally decided to write her own book, Write a Must-Read: Craft a Book That Changes Lives—Including Your Own.

AJ is an editor and publishing strategist who helps authors write foundational books that enable them to build readership, grow their brand and make a significant impact on the world. As ghostwriter and as developmental editor, she has worked with newbies to New York Times bestselling authors with millions of books sold. Through her workshops and editing retreats, AJ empowers authors with insider publishing knowledge and guides them through the book development, writing, and editing process.

In this episode, Josh and AJ talk about how she got connected to Mike Michalowicz and became his ghostwriter and now writing partner, her course, and why she decided to finally write her own book. Also, a bit of banter about ideal audience and memoir writing.
