Let’s stop the snobbery around ghostwriting. Not everyone with a world-changing story or a fascinating life has the technical literary skills to weave a compelling narrative, and that is perfectly okay. We value expertise in every other field: we hire architects to design houses and chefs to cook meals: so why do we expect every public figure or survivor to be a master prose stylist? When a human writer collaborates with a subject, they aren't erasing the voice; they are providing the professional tools to amplify it. Ghostwriting is a specialized craft that bridges the gap between raw experience and readable art. It ensures that important stories don't die in a pile of unreadable notes just because the person who lived them didn't major in English. Human-led ghostwriting is essential for preserving our collective history. #culture #literature #media
