The Ghost Writer

A ghost writer is someone hired to write content—such as books, speeches, or articles—on behalf of another person who is credited as the author. They provide skilled writing and research behind the scenes, but their contribution remains anonymous, with the credited author taking full ownership. Ghost writers are commonly used by celebrities, executives, or academics who want professional-quality material without doing the writing themselves. This arrangement allows the credited individual to focus on their expertise or public image, while the ghost writer ensures the content is well-crafted and polished.
