Author Neil Hanson has led a extraordinary life in his own right, but as a professional ghostwriter of over60 published books, he has also worked with a remarkably diverse collection of the most interestingpeople around. His clients include household names – an American showbiz legend, England’s mostfamous cricketer, a famous actor, one of Britain’s most decorated soldiers and an England footballmanager – but also many less celebrated men and women who have led extraordinary lives or achieved remarkable things.

They include SAS men, fast-jet pilots, explorers and adventurers, a treasure diver, a kidnap negotiator, a hugely successful businessman, a spy, a notorious gangster, a round the world walker, a submariner, a maxillofacial surgeon and many more. His hugely entertaining talk gives us privileged glimpses into the hidden worlds of his ghosting clients. It is revelatory, insightful and very, very funny.
