It is common practise to employ a ghostwriter for the purpose of producing literary or journalistic works, speeches, or other types of materials that are later presented with the name of another individual as the author. When drafting or editing autobiographies, memoirs, magazine pieces, or other written material, celebrities, CEOs, participants in breaking news events, and political leaders often use ghostwriters. Other types of written content may also be drafted or edited by ghostwriters. When mimicking another, memoir ghostwriters sometimes take great delight in their ability to "disappear." This is because "disappearance" is a good indicator of the quality of their artistry. Ghostwriters are often used in the music industry to compose songs, lyrics, and musical parts. Authors of screenplays have the option of using ghostwriters to either edit or rewrite their work in order to make it better. When a ghostwriter signs a contract with an author who will get credit for their work, the contract will often include a confidentiality provision that requires the ghostwriter to maintain their anonymity. In certain cases, the author or publisher may give credit to the ghostwriter for their writing services. In these cases, the ghostwriter will be given the euphemistic title of "researcher" or "research assistant." However, in most cases, the ghostwriter will not be recognised.

There are numerous instances of ghostwriting, sometimes known as "ghosting," in various creative industries. Composers have used ghostwriters for a very long time to assist them in writing musical pieces and songs. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a well-known example of a composer who was paid to ghostwrite music for rich clients. Ghosting is a phenomenon that may also be found in popular music. A pop music ghostwriter is someone who composes music and lyrics in the manner of an already established performer. The growing prevalence of the usage of ghostwriters by high-profile artists in the hip hop music industry has given rise to criticism. It is very commonplace for many assistants to work on a project that is attributed to a single artist in the visual arts, whether it be fine art or commercial art such as comics. Andy Warhol participated in this technique, directing an assembly line silk screen process for his artwork. However, if credit is given to the writer, then the recognition of their work becomes part of the public domain, and the writer in issue is no longer regarded as a ghostwriter.
