Interesting Insights about Ghostwriting (Book Review)


Book: The Secret of Ghostwriting (Kindle Edition)

Series: Volume 3 of Writer’s Toolkit

Author: D.R Downer

Publication: The Book Club

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.

I would rate this book 3 out of 5.

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source   Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that  he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know   how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)
