Out of the Shadows: A Ghostwriter Steps Forward

She’s the author of multiple best-sellers, but chances are you’ve never heard of her. That’s because she’s ghostwritten for famous Kiwis, from John Kirwan and Ray Columbus to the Ecostore’s Malcolm Rands and Dr Lance O’Sullivan.

Now Margie Thomson has her name in lights for writing Womankind: New Zealand Women Making a Difference, and Whale Oil, about one man’s fight against reputational ruin. What does it take to work with diverse NZ success stories—and how big a challenge was it to switch focus to the seedy side of life?

Margie will be in conversation with noted journalist and publisher Finlay Macdonald.
