    Having worked as a technical writer for many years (which is similar to ghostwriting but doesn't include authoring whole books for someone else), I was intrigued what this experienced ghostwriter would have to say about the subject. I found the information both easy to understand and important, especially because there's a short and helpful summary at the end of the booklet. What came as a pleasant surprise was the humor and sometimes sarcasm mixed in with the advice and insights into the author's own experiences.

    I knew absolutely nothing about 'ghostwriting' when I purchased this little book. For a fraction of the price of a small coffee, I now know everything I need to know. Interesting topic. Makes you wonder which celebrities used ghostwriters, and which ones did the hard work themselves.
    Well done.

    This book is simply awesome. I was always curious to know about the world of ghostwriting. It’s so interesting. I never knows that there are so many elements that weaves this world. I have formed a new found respect for all ghostwriters. Like a soldier standing behind an author who can’t write or have too many stories to tell. You will find how to become a ghostwriter too in this book.

    The author has done justice to the topic by explaining the pros and the cons and also the places one can go about advertising if you wanna pursue this career. The Red Flags and the Green Flag toward the end was like a checklist for a novice like me to keep track of! Highly recommended book for those who want to Ghostwrite.

    This is more a poorly written pamphlet than a useful book.
    Save your money just Google ‘what does a ghostwriter do?’
    This is barely a 10-minute read of generic ramblings.

    Reviewed in India on December 2, 2018
    The Secrets of Ghostwriting is the third book of TBC Toolkit series and deals with ghostwriting and is written by none other than D R Downer who is nicknamed as a ghost himself...

    Having read a couple of his works, I loved his story writing style. But after reading this toolkit I really loved his straightforward writing style because he prefers calling a spade a spade.

    So what is ghostwriting? Writing by ghosts or for ghosts? Definitely, the answer is No for both. So if you wanna understand what is ghostwriting, why it is called so, one must buy and read this toolkit which will really help you clearly understand each and every aspect of ghostwriting.

    Plus D R Downer's simple and straightforward writing style makes The Secrets of Ghostwriting easy to understand. So if you want to make ghostwriting as your career and wanna know in detail about the nitty-gritty of this business, this toolkit is a must read for you.

    The secrets of ghostwriting by D.R.DOWNER
    This toolkit is about all the secrets of writing world which often is not revealed to the reading community. The toolkit includes a brief explanation to - what, how, do's and dont's of the GHOST writing world. Not everyone is a born writer or we can say, not everyone knows the magic of word composition, this is what this toolkit is all about.
    You are lucky to have few (RED and GREEN FLAGS) points given by the person in the field himself. Anyone willing to enter this bad world must at least consider this toolkit as a small note from the person himself, who has spent a decade in the publishing house and other related works

    3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Insights about Ghostwriting
    Reviewed in India on January 7, 2019
    The subject of Ghostwriting is a quite intriguing for many of us. So, here’s the book that aims at answering all your possible questions on the subject. The author D.R. Downer, who himself is an experienced ghostwriter (and well that’s his pseudonym) has attempted to answer all the possible queries, including do’s and don’ts that one can think of.
    Ghostwriting is a sad but prevalent fact in the writing industry. In the book, the author has referred to Ghost-writing to surrogacy and a ghost-writer to surrogate mother. This is with reference to the emotions attached to one’s writing.
    He has thoughtfully jotted down the why’s and how’s of the ghostwriting; the nitty-gritties and industry insights as well. If you have ever considered ghostwriting as a career option, this is the book you need to flip through.
    This is a 20-minuter and a short read. No harm in knowing about the insider details of the industry that gives you your world of dreams.
