Today's episode is a fantastic chat with prolific ghost, Tom Henry.
With no less than 25 books under his belt, there's not much Tom doesn't know about the process of getting a tome out into the world, and what it feels like when an important story isn't picked-up by agents and publishers.
Although it can feel rather soul destroying at the time, Tom's stoicism in the face of rejection is a great lesson for us all.
But, as well as telling us about the ones that got away, we also hear the incredible successes Tom has had, not least with ghosting a book for an icon of sport, and why not already being immersed in the author's world can be an incredible advantage.
