The difficulties of being a ghostwriter.
Okay. Let's try and figure this one out:
“I went to them [the publishers] and said, ‘I don’t want credit, but I don’t want [Barrino] to look dumb, and I think strategically it’s not going to be wise for her to pretend to have written this book,’” Green said, of Barrino’s literacy problems. “I didn’t want to seem like a troublemaker, and didn’t want to burn any bridges of my own.”
So she says she doesn't want credit, right? I mean, right there, she says she doesn't want credit. Right? But then:
Green, who reportedly received $45,000 to work on the 240-page book, is frustrated because she has received no credit for her efforts and was not contacted or credited in the Lifetime television movie inspired by the book.
Huh? Someone explain, please. And while you're at it, explain to me why she's asking for credit when the publisher is being sued about the book.
