I think my book was a nyt bestseller in 2018. I didn't write any of it. My parents paid for a ghostwriter to write it for me.
I am not sure I understand how this works. Is that a normal way for books to be written?
There are plenty of people who hire ghostwriters all the time. Most people don't write their own bestsellers.
Even if hiring ghostwriters is normal, you are taking credit for writing a book you did not write, which is dishonest. If you want to be a bestseller, you should write your own book and be proud of your own hard work.
I'm only following the trend and it's not important what is written in the book. All that matters is that it sells.
I think your book will sell but people that buy it will eventually feel misled if you are not honest about your skill.
