Slip into a secret world, one of suggestive snippets of information and intrigue; time hop through the career of a ghostwriter who has led a life possibly more varied and interesting than some of those he writes memoirs for. This is fascinating stuff, if you don't gulp it down in one sitting this is actually a perfect book to dip in and out of, as each short chapter tells a different story and opens your eyes to a new world. Disbelief, amusement, wonderment, and an occasional tear will accompany you through the pages and leave you wanting to know more. Oh, to be able to sit at his shoulder, be a fly on the wall or even eavesdrop on some of his conversations, what a riveting experience that would be!
A 'Piece of Passion' from the publisher...
Andrew Crofts is a bit of a legend in the book world, one of the most successful ghostwriters of all-time, so when he proposed writing a volume for our popular Confessions series I jumped at the chance. And the world he opens up to us is truly fascinating. A world of film and rock stars, of troubled lives and successful ones, of ordinary people thrown into the spotlight and career politicians (plus a dictator’s wife or two) and, of course, the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of the book world. All of which is hugely entertaining, but really appealed to me about Andrew’s book was that it is essentially the story of a young man who just wanted to write. He had a dream and really went for it, with remarkable results. He is a lovely chap in real life and that comes across in these friendly, chatty pages.' - Scott Pack, publisher of The Friday Project

About Andrew Crofts
Andrew Crofts is a ghostwriter, an author for hire, employed to write other people’s stories – everyone from film stars to footballers, hitmen to hookers, world leaders to abused children.

They dip their toes into every corner of life, and inhabit worlds that are both shadowy and glamorous. They are the ones who write the books that top the bestseller charts.
Andrew is one of the world’s most sought-after ghosts. In this book he confesses the truth about ghosting; how it feels to be an invisible author, to be given first class tickets to travel anywhere and permission to ask whatever questions you like. Confessions of a Ghostwriter gives an unrivalled peek into private worlds that few others gain admission to.
