Ghostwriting is the practice of writing content—books, articles, speeches, social media posts, or memoirs—on behalf of another person who is credited as the author. Ghostwriters are hired by executives, celebrities, politicians, and busy professionals who have ideas or expertise but lack the time or writing skill to produce polished text themselves. The work requires strong writing ability along with the discretion to capture someone else's voice and perspective convincingly.
