james – I said we “might not” have the right to show it. Some of our clients get agreements that we won’t. If we choose to agree to that up front, then we honor it. Also, I will look into the moral rights issue.

Canadian ghostwriters are allowed to claim moral rights to works. It is legal to point to a piece and say, “I wrote that.”

Now, U.S. writers may not have as much allowance to do so, but moral rights do exist and you may be allowed to claim moral rights on ghostwritten work.

I would do some more research before saying that you can’t show a client something and say, “I wrote that.” You may be surprised that you’re not completely tied and chained.

Of course, I haven´t done ebooks yet, and that might be a bit big to do just a sample . . . but why don´t you write an ebook on how to freelance and sell it to your readers, as well as use it for a sample?

Ghostwriting might not offer any glory, but really, there are days when I just sit here and can´t believe that I make money from digging stuff out of my brain and typing it into the computer!
