Ghost Writing... Do You Guys Remember That Show, Ghostwriter?

I don't think it was about ghostwriting, but it came to mind as I started this post, so I had to mention it. I may be presented with an opportunity to do some ghostwriting in the near future, but part of me worries and wonders how to approach it. First of all, I am a vanity hog, if ever there were...

Establish a Good Relationship with Your Editors Without Going Overboard...
