I’ve ghost written and consulted with many writers over the years ,it’s a tough world out there for modern writers , unfortunately it takes an unfortunate or tragic happening in someone’s life sometimes , like breakups or breaking legs , or loosing a job , to give you commitment to and dedicate or finish a book , unless you are able to take time out and separate yourself from the outside world for two to three hour a day or even a week

@Wishingwellguy whats your opinion on ghostwriting? doesnt it annoy you? I think anyone who doesnt write their own work should have to declare it. It should definitely be acknowledged somewhere inside the book.

@prawntobewild it’s a tough one , if your paid to fill out and give substance to elements of historical fact for example then I’m ok with ghost writing passages ect , but in bio books I think you should be credited , but I think if your write in different genres then a ghost authors name is fine , but I would not sell books if I write as myself and would make my job very different

@Wishingwellguy why wouldnt you sell books? And I agree that if you are just a historical consultant then its different to actually forming the sentences and story and someone else taking credit for it.
