Nora Roberts has had enough of the conjecture about the "real" authorship of her works, which has been fueled by romance's latest plagiarism crisis. So she just came to Facebook to explain to the world how she manages to produce what she does. (There are no ghostwriters or co-authors.) She uses a team of talented people who help her create the novels that make her millions. Roberts started out writing under a pseudonym and has never looked back. Here is what she said in her post: "I started out writing as Nora Roberts. Then I realized I was getting too many books canceled so I switched to the current name. Nowadays, one of my assistants will send me a partial manuscript to read while they continue with their own work. We discuss it and she sends it back with notes and changes requested by the editor. When the whole thing is done we go over it again and then she types up the document for me to review before she starts setting it up for print." So yes, Nora Roberts does have ghostwriters. But she also insists on reading every word of every draft of her books before they are published so she can make sure they are up to her standards before they come out.
