A well - known 'ghost writer story' is that of some Hollywood stars' autobiographies. Take for example, a famous actor who wants to share their life story. They may not have the writing skills or the time to write a book themselves. So, they hire a ghost writer. The ghost writer then interviews the actor, gathers information, and writes the book. The public buys the book thinking it was written solely by the actor, which is a typical 'ghost writer story'.
Imagine a 'ghost writer story' where a celebrity who can't write well wants to publish a tell - all book. They hire a ghost writer.

The ghost writer has to find a way to balance presenting the truth while still maintaining the celebrity's marketable image. This story could show the inner workings of the ghost writing world and the complex relationship between the ghost writer, the client, and the public.

One example could be the story of a plantation where slaves were worked to death. After their deaths, there were rumors of their ghosts appearing at night.

This story was passed down through generations as a reminder of the harshness of slavery.
