I've created a new group called Ghostwriters Anonymous. As of today, it's a one-man band, me as president, but a few writer friends might join after their careers at magazines and as public relations execs have dried up and they need work. GA, not to be confused with GA-GA, is dedicated to keeping their clients in the dark, or rather, keeping their clients' ghostwriters out of the public eye. Most celebs employ ghostwriters, as do some famous fiction writers, for help in producing books. Many former journalists are eschewing bylines in favor of finding clients who need their skills. A caveat: Slinking back into the shadows is only for ego-less writers who value a working wage over public acclaim.
