A ghost who has only a lay knowledge of the subject will be able to keep asking the same questions as the lay reader, and will therefore open up the potential readership of the book to a much wider audience.

About This Quote

As a ghostwriter, I am responsible for the content in the book. It is my job to understand the subject and know what aspects of it I want to include in the finished product. Often, when I am working on a book, I will ask friends and family members for their opinions and thoughts on important topics that may not seem like the most obvious choices. The more that people know about a particular subject, the better they understand its importance to the human experience. Therefore, when I bring up topics such as reincarnation or ghosts in general, they can help me to find good material for inclusion in the book.
