Last week's piece in The New Yorker, by the Agassi and Harry ghostwriter was salutatory, and a great insight for any would-be or actual writer.

I understand that ghost writing is much bigger business than people realize, and it's not only ghosting for nonfiction.

It's a legitimate job, I imagine it's just as challenging, likely more so, than any form of writing.

You have evidently had a far more successful career, and prolific!

How marvelous that you started with Capote's aunt, what an opportunity.
