Ghostwriting might be okay, but really -- would it? Just giving the credit away? Probably wouldn’t have the final word anyway, so it might be just as well her name not be the one on the cover. Would it be somewhere on the inside, though? Like ‘with help from’? Or ‘with support from’? ‘Featuring the syntactical stylings of’? ‘Couldn’t have done it without’? Probably not any of those.
At least a check, anyway. And isn’t that what every writer wants? It’s the check that makes the professional, after all. She rolled her eyes at this misconception. What does a writer want? Who knows. Usually not the writer. Not this one, anyway. Fame? Fortune? Readers galore?
