Ghostwriters write articles, ebooks, reviews, stories, and yes, even lyrics. Don't be surprised if you find out that the lyrics of your favorite song were not written by the acclaimed lyricist, but by a ghostwriter. Ghostwriting is actually very beneficial when it comes to websites, as many website owners possess the knowledge but not the inclination and time to write. They therefore hire ghostwriters.
Some examples of well-known books written by ghostwriters include "The Nancy Drew Mystery Stories" series, originally attributed to Carolyn Keene but written by a variety of ghostwriters, and Donald Trump's book "The Art of the Deal," which was ghostwritten by Tony Schwartz.
The band Ghostwriters was born in Sydney, Australia in 1990, with the intentions of the name being anonymous. Their first album did not list the band member names, yet later on, in their second album, only a couple names were mentioned.

Myth #1: Ghostwriters are never given creditYes, if you work for a celebrity or "big name," you'll probably never be acknowledged as the writer -- you may even have to sign a non-disclosure agreement that prevents you from telling anyone about your involvement. But many book authors who use ghosts do mention or recognize their ghostwriters in the book's acknowledgements, even if it's only for "assisting" in the book's creation.Myth #2: Ghostwriters don't make any money.Wrong! Sure, Craigslist is full of ads looking for ghostwriters who'll work for some nebulous promise of "a share of the royalties" -- most clients pay ghostwriters fairly. You should steer clear of any ad that ask you to work for free, or for the hope of pay somewhere down the line. Look for clients (think business owners, professionals, and companies) who understand that ghostwriting is a skill deserving of pay.Rates typically start in the $20 per hour range, but experienced ghostwriters charge $65-75 and up, or calculate project fees based on hourly rates. Freelancer Erik Sherman, who has ghosted a book, articles, op-eds and blog posts, conducted a survey of full time ghostwriters in 2011 that revealed they averaged around $60,000 a year.Myth #3: Ghostwriters only write books.While that's the best known gig, ghostwriters also write articles, speeches, blog posts, corporate pieces, and even tweets for clients. You don't have to have book-writing experience to be a ghostwriter.Myth #4: Ghostwriting takes special skills.This one does have some truth to it -- you have to start with solid writing skills. You also have to be able to listen to what your clients want, draw relevant information out of them and then write it in a style and voice that might be different from your own. Ghostwriters who can do that are in high demand.Source: The Writer, May 2013, Kelley James-Enger
To find a reliable ghostwriting service, consider asking for recommendations from other authors or industry professionals, research online reviews and portfolios of ghostwriters, and ensure the service offers clear contracts and terms that protect your rights as the author. Additionally, it's important to communicate openly with potential ghostwriters to ensure they understand your vision and can meet your needs.
