A professional writer that mainly hired to write stories, books even autobiographies, reports and other written materials is known as a ghost writer, he writes a lot of materials of varying creativity but the credits for writing these materials are given to the persons who hire a ghost writer for their work. Many opticians, celebrities and marketing companies hires ghost. Sometimes some authors or writer do acknowledge the ghost writer that helped them to write those things.



The work of a ghost writer varies from need and demand of the person, some of the people hire the ghost writers just to check or polish and fine tune the rough draft of their writings that the person hiring them has written, but there are a few people that need the ghost writers to full or complete writings and just pay them for their work and the credits goes to the person hiring the ghost writer.

In case of autobiographies the ghost writers may not do the complete writing but they just interview the colleagues and relatives or complete the video footage stories of the person present.

Ghost writer are hired by various people due to many reasons of their own, sometimes the celebrity hiring the ghost writer may not have time to jot down a book or an autobiography on himself hence he hires a ghost writer for his work.

Types of work written by ghost writer vary from people to people some of the few works written by the ghost writers are:

Non fiction works: these include writings about celebrities, political leaders and other public figures. The amount of involvement these celebrities require from he ghost writer ranges from people to people hence the load differs on the writer too

Fiction work: in these kinds of works the writers basically do the help work and even provide suggestions to the authors and, even help in the fine tuning of the various articles and art work done by the author.

The famous romantic novelist V.C Andrews is an example of this type, he hired a ghost writer for his works to continue to be written even after the death of the novelist.

Political: many a time political leaders tend to hire ghost writers so as to respond to the huge amount of office work they receive. As politicians receive large amount of official work so in order to correspond it further they hire ghost writers.

Blogs: many celebrities and public figures write their blogs so as to connect themselves to the people around so they hire professional ghost writers to write and upload their blogs.

The remuneration package given to the ghost writers is also a good deal so one can opt for it some ghost writers even receive $4 for every single word they write. One of the famous examples for this case may be the report that published in the New York Times which stated the price that a ghost writer would be getting for the book to be published on Hillary Clinton's name. The package was probably around $500,000.

So the remuneration package works as a good deal apart from a satisfying job. Only one point that lending your writing for someone else's name is a tough work and one must be strong for it.
