Authentic Inauthenticity

Write a story where a renowned author confesses to his audience that all his highly celebrated works were the raw unedited products of his ghostwriter.

Here, the prompt asks you to delve into issues of authenticity, reputation, and public image while commenting on the inherent paradox of a ghostwriter’s invisible presence in their own work. This narrative carries the potential for drama, discovery, public outrage, personal redemption, and complex emotions.
