Free ghost writer software

[oldman_gamer]

My son is writing a book....he uses commas and such about as good as I do....we aren't teachers,but try to make things look good.
He asked me if I knew of a free ghost writer application,program.I searched around and googled some.I really don't know what I'm looking for.Maybe someone here has used one or could point me in the general direction.I see alot of paid writers,but I have seen free writer programs...just not sure which one would be better for punctuation,etc.

Thanks in advance,Jody

Not sure what exactly a "ghost writer" program is, but if you are looking for something free to type papers or a book with, you can try Open Office...

Word's grammer and spell check would work as good as anything. If you were writing a play or a script, it would be different, but there are really no book writing applications I know of (for the actual writing part). There is voice recognition software - you might look at that.

As a failed (well, at least I'm published) writer I can tell you that just writing the book is more important than the grammer parts. Once you have a book written (or at least a complete chapter or three), you have an investment that is worth having worked on. The wife has a company that just ghost edits (a ghost writer writes the book for you). We've never done a full book, but we have done chapters.

::::
Fiction, Fictionalized, and technical only. We do not do fact checking - we do not ghost write - we re-work and ghost edit only. Payment method/amount is agreed on in advance - we will do speculative contracts/co-authoring.
::::

At any rate, I know it's hard - but it can be rewarding.

EDIT - BTW - There are other services out there - look around and look at writer groups. You may find a co-author who will work for a cut.
