Then, I don’t know, MAYBE THEY DON’T NEED TO HAVE A BOOK

Or they could credit the person with an “and” or “with.” But this idea that everybody’s entitled to have a book with their name on it is weird. Not everybody is good at everything. It’s ok to stay in our lanes.
The idea that putting your name on a book that someone else wrote is somehow ok because the person taking credit just isn’t capable of writing it themselves is just, yeah, weird. I flunk students who do this. Desire doesn’t equal entitlement
And as in the classroom setting, just because the writer agrees to participate— or accepts money to participate— doesn’t mean it isn’t dishonest. Taking credit for someone else’s work is lying
(Also: I’ve been called both racist and ableist for my original tweet, in case you wondered how Twitter’s going these days)
