The news just broke in the publishing world that James Paterson is teaming up with none other than music superstar Dolly Parton on a new book project. As weird as this team up may seem, it certainly isn’t the first time that a celebrity name has been put on a work of fiction. In many cases readers are left to wonder: did the celebrity actually write this?

So that is the question we tackle this week on Casing the Cover. In this episode, we take a look at 40 celebrity authors, and do our best to guess which celebrities we think actually added autor to their list of accomplishments, and which we think had a little more help than they are letting on. This is all speculation on our parts, but feel free to follow along with us and make your own guesses by checking out the article: https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/g33987725/celebrities-who-wrote-fiction-books/
