An author can also be called as writer. Isn't it sir?
An author is a writer but every author is not writer. There are ghost writers and contract writers. They are not authors.
I mean...one who writes his own ideas and views as novels, poems, biography etc can be called as writer??????
Sasikanth, I think ghost writer is a writer who can write on any topic
No yaar...
They write online articles for other persons...may be according to given keywords. They earn pretty much...yet won't get the credit of those articles. Its credit goes to the person who pays the ghost writer.
So, am not interested in ghost writing :) :)
An author is one who originates a written piece of work and has a title in his own name and right. A writer may be one who may even write for others or on contract.

That is a writer yes, The one who can write on any given topic and convert any lines in to full story is a writer but the one who has own style and particular way of writing is author. A ghost writer is the one who writes for many established authors.

You are right. A ghost writer will not get the credit for writing . But Its not only about writing online articles. It can even be offline works. For example, some of the well known novels are believed to be ghost written works.

I am one of them who not only ghost writes but have thousands of articles of my own, in my own name and with my real photo on them. I ghost write to increase my income and write just 10-12 in a month.
