Well done @philippaeast.bsky.social for your hard work on this. I'm delighted to see the statement, and I hope it gets traction in the mainstream press!

All too often, celebrities casually claim to have “written a book” (as if this is something anyone can wake up one morning and do), while the expertise, skill and talent of the real writers behind these projects goes unacknowledged. 2/
