You have your best works on your site and through helium, where you have your by line, and that's what matters. As long as you keep earning me my craft money, I don’t mind about the by line.

Sometimes others have trouble getting their thoughts down or simply have no training or ability to write. So you interview them and then put their thoughts down. It's happened for thousands of years. It's completely ethical. I am a ghost writer and enjoyed doing it. Sometimes others have trouble getting their thoughts down or simply have no training or ability to write.

These days I charge $35 up front for a resume with a further $15 for application letters. I also write up responses to selection criteria - the cost depends on how many items are in the selection criteria - the basic fee is $20 - so for a complete application I charge around the $70. I don't get a lot of work - it's not cheap but I can tell you at $20 per hour I spend more than three hours doing the work. For this type of work - it is always charged upfront. I have been stung too many times in the past by people asking for written material then not paying. cheers les Hi Whitey
