In 1915,Maurice E. McLoughlin, a well-known tennis player, published an instructional autobiography     1     (call) Tennis as I Played It. Two years earlier, McLoughlin had become the first American finalist at the Wimbledon tournament in England and tennis fans were excited to uncover the secrets of his success. Anticipation for McLoughlin’s story grew even more in 1914.Winning a number of major tournaments that year, he     2     (declare) the Number 1 tennis player in the world. When Tennis as I Play It     3     come out in 1915,no one had any reason to suspect that it might have been written by     4     else. However, the author of Tennis as I Play was not McLoughlin at all, but the as-yet unknown novelist Sinclair, his ghostwriter. Why, then, is Tennis as I Play It considered the tennis player’s book?

A ghostwriter is an author who writes a text that is officially credited to another author, and the history of such practices is     5     (long) than we might expect. In other words, Tennis as I Play It was not the first famous ghostwritten book, and it won’t be the last. Ghostwriter can happen for a number of reasons, and     6     its merits are debatable, it remains an acceptable practice in the publishing world. Some in the industry suggest that as many as half of non-fiction books are written with the help from ghostwriter.

Is the practice restricted     8     celebrity autobiographies and memories? No, ghostwriting is equally prominent in lesser-known spheres as well. Political speeches, for example, are often credited to the politician who delivers them, and then that politician just reads the speech from a teleprompter. In addition, many popular songs claim a popular singer or performer as songwriter; therefore they have been shaped more by a producer than by any of the credited songwriters.

Ghostwriting--whether we approve of or not--is here     9     (stay).Sometimes as in the case of Sinclair Lewis, the ghostwriters will eventually become famous authors in their own right. Much more often, we are moved by the writing of authors     10     names we will never learn.
