HB: Here is an article by Andrew Crofts (Britain's top ghostwriter) defending the proposition that Katie Price (Britain's top owner-of-enormous-breasts) deserves every penny she's earned from writing.
I agree more than not, I think. In the end, anyone who manages to shift lots of books has done well and deserves what rewards come their way. The problem is never with those authors. The problem is a retail market that achieves huge sales for a handful, leaving many fine authors with minimal sales and a literary climate that's overly hostile to the experimental.
I might add that I had cause to speak to Andrew Crofts about something recently. He's an absolutely top bloke - very helpful. He also, as it happens, has a book coming out this week. Not ghosted. A novel, about celebrity and fame, titled The Overnight Fame of Steffi McBride. Just click that link to go straight through to the Amazon page. Or click this one to go the website, complete with YouTubed video & all. Very 21st century.
