Ghosting

‘Ghosting’ is the term used for working behind the scenes on a writing project for an individual or organisation. The work is done for a fee and copyright stays with the client. Many quite famous books and screenplays have been ‘ghosted’, either from a fairly basic initial idea, or existing rough copy.

John McDonald has ‘ghosted’ several books. These books have included novels, histories and biographies. Names and titles are covered by copyright.

John is sometimes available for ‘ghosting’ – just contact him for a schedule, a consultation and/or an estimate.

Reviews of John McDonald's dramatic work

“Strong drama in london...vivid, sympathetic characters...well-set scenes...a kind of passive menace” – Soho Theatre.

“[the] impressive triangular relationship is sensitively explored...there is no stereotyping of attitudes and abrupt changes in emotions ring true” – Royal Court.

“McDonald's [work] concisely explores various crises of conscience, while revealing the impenetrable barrier between those powerless to the point of desperation and those too blinkered by privilege to comprehend. A searing antidote to recent bland offerings” – Time Out.

“...interesting and fascinating...” – Yves Bureau, Rue Blanche.

“Spirited, vivid, convincing, imaginative and poetic” – St. Petersburg Times.

“McDonald deserves an award” – comicbits online.
