Goodreads asked Allyson E. Machate:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Allyson E. Machate I specialized in prescriptive nonfiction as a ghostwriter for years, and I really loved that work because every project was an opportunity to do a deep dive into the subject matter. On one book, I got an education in interior design and decorating aesthetics. On another, I learned a ton about things like goal setting and self-discipline. In addition to ghostwriting, I did book-doctoring work for publishers, mainly in the health and wellness categories, so while I'm certainly no person-doctor I do know more than the average person about topics like mental health, getting a good night's sleep, eating to avoid/improve illnesses, etc. It's awesome to be able to learn from experts as I worked with them to share their knowledge with readers everywhere.
