The Trials and Tribulations of a Ghostwriter
I decided to post this because, when applying for writing gigs, most of my work has been published under different names. I have written as Veda for my Decorama and Baby Knows Best shops and under my wife's name, Diane O'Toole, on her author blog . I have also written content for countless clients' blogs or websites with great success, but you will not see my name attached to any of them. So I decided I would post them here, on my old blog. It is not available to everyone, only by invitation, so the text should not show up in any plagiarism check. Copying any of the content is, therefore, forbidden to protect my clients' interests. As a ghostwriter, I have to work to the style guide presented, which can be the Chicago manual, AP or the client’s own bespoke guide. Usually, there are strict requirements on where to place keywords and links, the number of keywords, and where to source images from. Sometimes, this can be quite restricting, especially if there is no leeway
