ghostwrites
Composes for another
Ghostwrites is the verb form of ghostwrite—to write something that will be credited to another person.
A ghostwriter produces speeches, books, articles, or other content while someone else takes public authorship: She ghostwrites memoirs for celebrities.
The practice is common in politics, publishing, and music, where public figures need polished content but lack time or skill to produce it themselves.
