Since the cooperation and agreements of ghost writers do not imply a uniform distribution of work, there must be mutual respect and objectives. If you are not familiar with the intricacies of the publishing industry or want to protect your creative or personal relationship from the commercial aspects of your literary partnership, hire a lawyer with an understanding of the publishing industry. Make sure the lawyer understands your goals. Is it more important to have a book that you have established as an expert than an additional 10% of royalties? Lawyers are often surprised to find out what their client`s real goals are. The essence of the cooperation agreement is copyright. In the absence of a written agreement, if two people work together, there is a good chance that the following work will be considered a common work The formal legal definition of a “common work” is “a work prepared by two or more authors with the intention of grouping their contributions into inseparable or interdependent parts of a single set” (1976 Copyright Act , Section 101). Author credit configurators contain the words “me and you” or “me with you” or “as I said.” By definition, if the book Ghosts is written, the only author`s credit for the work will be only on behalf of the subject. In this case, the writer-for-hire must get peace with the fact that the subject will be the only author credit. I would say that ghost writers receive higher fees and higher advances because their names do not appear on the book. Remember Ashlee Simpson Lippensynching on SNL? While this was considered a deceptive practice, in the world of letters (unlike the world of science), it is not generally reprehensible to get additional help from a mind. Unlike James Fry, author of A Little Million Pieces, who wrongly called his novel a fiction book, there is usually no perceived breach of trust when a notable, expert or politician hires a professional writer to write a book. What for? Perhaps public opinion understands that the expertise of the credited author is the driving force behind the work. Versions of the contract and form website may appear differently depending on the laptop or desktop resolution settings.

Authors can also start any page of the writing to indicate their acceptance. Notarization of signatures is an option, but is not a legal necessity to make them valid.
