I think these are the writers who create stories about ghosts or somehting of the kind. I think it's like this, but I may be mistaken. :D

Hmm or me Ghost writers are writers or authors that didn't divulge their true identity. Am I right?

ghostwriters are writers who give all the credit of their work to another person and never divulge their true identity. IE: the author name on the book cover isn't the person who actually wrote it if a ghostwriter was used.

Ghostwriters tend to be used by celebs or politicians who want to write their version of events but either they lack the ability or are too lazy to make the effort so they get someone to write if for them. A lot of ghostwriters tend to be journalists in "real" life and they are usually credited with the writing but of course claim that they had unlimited access and total editorial control!

Ghostwriters (aka Rob Hirst & the Ghostwriters and sometimes referred to as Ghosties by fans) are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1990.

is a writer you never see - a ghost. If you have great ideas, but can't seem to find the words to express them
