Sincere question for , and :

A client has had two romance ghostwriters in a row now whose first couple of books were great, but then when they got to the third book and beyond the quality dropped to unreadably horrible, almost as if a different person had written them. I'm guessing this is because the first books were spec pieces they'd worked on for months, and now the 60-day turnaround is catching up to them. Thoughts?

Giving Up the Ghostwriter

"The L.A. Times found that The Book of Animal Secrets, which argues that species such as pigeons and pigs can help humans deal with conditions like memory loss and chronic pain, had passages yanked from the New York Times, National Geographic, scientific journals, college websites, Wikipedia, and a South African safari company’s 'Ten Craziest Facts You Should Know About a Giraffe.'”

" As the head of a publishing imprint noted: “If you ever look at someone famous and think ‘they’re so busy, how on earth do they produce all these books?’ The answer is: they don’t.”"

"A publishing boss added: “Oakeshott’s behaviour sent a shiver down my spine because we have a circle of trust with our ghostwriters. The best — and there are about a dozen of them — are fought over by publishers. They have a ventriloquial brilliance: they can be SAS soldiers, rock stars, soap actresses."

"The best do not just write well, they are able to embody their subjects, without ever sounding like a stand-up doing an impression.

But being among the creme de la creme of ghostwriters often means deliberately flying under the radar. The midwife doesn't go home with the baby."
