Ghost-written means written by someone that you hired but who does not get any credit as the author. This happens a lot with celebrity autobiographies. The celebrity, or a publisher, hires a ghost-writer. The ghost-writer interviews the celebrity and family and friends of the celebrity and does as much research as is necessary an writes the autobiography based on that material. The celebrity accepts it, the publisher prints the celebrity's name on it as the author and voila, a so-called autobiography.

∙ 15y agoA Ghostwriter is an author that is not given the main credit for the book. Usually a ghostwriter is used when there are more than one authors. The main author is usually a celebrity or someone that might not otherwise be a good writer. The ghostwriter does the actual writing of the book while the main writer, and the one who is credited on the book, does the research and generally pieces together the book.
Most books written this way are autobiographies or autobiographical tales.
