Ghostwriters such as Brent J Cole are bound to non-disclosure agreements in most book writing agreements. This means, in most cases, their names are not legally verifiable except by the mouths of those publishers and editors with whom they worked behind the scenes. While Brent J. Cole's name is listed in the acknowledgement section of several books on which he collaborated, to list or reference them in a public domain may infringe on the rights of those for whom he's ghostwritten. This puts somewhat of a quandary on the matter of meeting the verifiability guidelines. The purpose of the article is to begin to educate the reading public on the reality that 80% of biographical books are ghostwritten and more than 60% of non-fiction books are ghostwritten. Allowing the wikipedia public to be informed on the work of a sought-after ghostwriter like Brent J Cole is a step closer to a legal behind-the-scenes snapshot of the publishing industry. Those contributing to the article about him are colleagues with whom he's worked and people with whom he formerly worked.
