Abstract

Ghost writing means that an individual write for
another person who is considered to have written
these.2 It is also called contract cheating. Anything
especially
autobiographies, books, assignments,
articles, and speeches can be ghost written. Why
someone opt for ghost writing is interesting. Some get
it as they don’t have time because of busy schedules,
others consider that although their narrative is
important and interesting but they do not have
sufficient time to write or what they will write will not
be impressive or up to mark. Economic gain, job and
friendship are common reasons for which a ghost
writer allows other to take credit of his work. As
everywhere, ghost writing culture is also there in
Pakistani scenario. Speeches of politicians and
government officials are written by persons who may
be hired or are employed in the concerned
department. It has been said that biographies of two of
the former Pakistani heads of state were written by
ghost writers.3
