“Brand-Name Authors Hire Writers to Flesh Out Their Bare-Bones Stories” - Headline, Washington Post, July 23.
The TeleRead take: Hollywood is giving us more and more sequels at the expense of orginal, “normal” movies. In one form or another, the MBAs and accounts are winning. Will book-publishing sink to Hollywood’s level? And in the end, will “Robert Ludlum” and “Tom Clancy” live on more as brand names than as the names of actual writers? Another argument for a new business model.
