Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Just want to confirm--the name on the cover is primary, and the ghostwriter is secondary, right? I was going through Matt Christopher's page, and he is no longer living, but still has ghostwriters writing under his name. A couple of those writers have the books listed on their own author pages, with them as primary. Just wanted to make sure it's supposed to be Matt Christopher as primary, ghostwriter as secondary.

Right.

@ Jaclyn or staff, can something about ghostwriters be added to the Librarian Manual? I was looking for information about it, because I'm working on this request: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Searching 'ghostwriter' or 'ghost' in Goodreads Help didn't come up with any results: https://help.goodreads.com/s/global-s...
For now I'll follow what Rivka stated above. Thanks!
