"Author of the Shadow" — The Hidden Writer Behind the Works of Famous Arabs
The article addresses the issue of the "ghostwriter" in the Arab world and its impact on the publishing industry and literature, exemplified by the case of the resigned Minister Gehan Zaki, who was convicted regarding her book "Coco Chanel and the Heart's Strength." It was rumored that a ghostwriter contributed to writing parts of the book. A ghostwriter is known as a person who writes on behalf of celebrities without their name appearing on the cover; their identity often remains secret for professional and ethical reasons. While their use is increasing in Western publishing industries, there is a lack of a clear professional framework in the Arab world. This role reflects an ethical dilemma, as it involves editing and producing texts, often concealing the true author to protect the reputation of public figures. Ghostwriters are typically compensated with a fixed fee or a percentage of the profits.
