A Ghostwriter is a writer who writes on behalf of someone else.The writings of a Ghostwriter get published in the name of the person who employs the Ghostwriter and pays him/her.Often celebrities and rich people employ Ghostwriters to fulfill their desire to emerge as a writer or get their autobiographies written in their own names.Names of Hilary Clinton, Magician Harry Houdini, allegedly John F Kennedy and most recently Madonna has come up as having used Ghostwriters to write their books.The reason for celebrities to take the help if Ghostwriters is, their lack of time to write, abundance of money to afford a Ghostwriter, and sometimes lack of skill to write in a professional manner.Most politicians also have their own Ghostwriters who answer their correspondences on their behalf mainly owing to their lack of time.They also write speeches for these politicians.Owing to lack of recognition and no entitlement to royalty on the sale of books Ghostwriters generally take steep one-time fees for their service.Some of the best Ghostwriters of the world are employed by www.Ghostwriters.Tk.It is not always though that Ghostwriters do not get recognition.There are examples that the names of the Ghostwriters have been mentioned in some books on thanksgiving pages or even as co-writers.In these cases, where their contribution has been recognized, they cannot technically be called Ghostwriters, but rather collaborators.It is also not always the case that one who employs a Ghostwriter does not have the talent of writing.Sometimes Ghostwriters are employed by established professional writers to get their work error-corrected and refined.Sometimes it is not merely refinement but entire books are written by Ghostwriters for established writers.One who corrects errors is an editor and all writers employ editors, but if someone refines the writing (by rewriting some portions) besides correcting errors, then that person is definitely acting as a Ghostwriter.Lack of time is again the reason for professional and established writers to employ a Ghostwriter or a team of Ghostwriters.For example Star Wars novel was the work of a Ghostwriter, so were many of the books of Hardy Boys Series (main author--Franklin W Dixon).
