A closer look at "ghost" writers and their world. This WSJ article looks at what the role is of the often overlooked "aide" who helps shape, write or even birth a celebrity book or memoir. How much involvement do they really have and how much money or credit do they get? I can assure you, there is no ghost writer on this blog even though sometimes it feels a little haunted and I get very little credit and even less money

Good questions that won't be answered any time soon. When a celebrity contracts with a "real" writer, there is often a clause that prohibits the writer from commenting about the book. The writer earns a modest sum, while the celebrity and the lawyers get the rest.
Would you turn down actual pay to ghost write for a celebrity? I sure wouldn't. I'd jump on any chance to earn money from writing.
One hundred percent in agreement with you. I would jump at the chance of earning any money from writing.
