"Hi, I'm Laura, from youngwritersworkshops.com. I'm going to talk a little bit about, what is a ghostwriter? A ghostwriter can be a lot of different things. Generally, it's defined as someone who writes as a support person, without a byline, for another writer, so hence the term ghost, because they're sort of like in the shadows, not being seen, and yet doing some of the writing. Ghostwriters can provide editing. They can do one section of a book. They could take the entire story, dictated by someone, and turn it into a published piece of work. Ghostwriting can also take place for something like a drama, or a play. It could be a person who writes the script, based on someone else's novel ,so there's a lot of different ways that ghostwriters work, but in general, a ghostwriter, is someone who writes without, any other person gets the credit, so that is what is a ghostwriter."
