Hack Writers

You might be looking at the title of this blog and wonder, what is a Hack Writer? At first I wondered too. I thought it was maybe a person, critic, proffreader, or reviewer who just tore words apart maybe when reading a book. Or a person who just read and tore writers books apart for fun. Finding every little mistake, fault with every line,and chapter. In other words just hated everything about the book. But was I wrong! here's the real deinition of a "hack writer" "Hack writer Hack writer is a colloquial and usually pejorative term used to refer to a writer who is paid to write low-quality, rushed articles or books "to order", often with a short deadline. In a fiction-writing context, the term is used to describe writers who are paid to churn out sensational, lower-quality "pulp" fiction such as "true crime" novels or "bodice ripping" paperbacks. In journalism, the term is used to describe a writer who is deemed to operate as a "mercenary" or "pen for hire", expressing their client's political opinions in pamphlets or newspaper articles. So-called "hack writers" are usually paid by the number of words in their book or article; as a result, hack writing has a reputation for quantity taking precedence over quality." So now yo know what a hack writer is. I am sure there are many books out there written by persons like these who are more concerned with the money. Can you think of any books that were probably written by such writers? I bet now you can!
