'''Ghost Publishing''' is an anonymous publishing movement. The basic philosophy of the movement is in part derivative of the [[new criticism]] of the early part of the twentieth century. The new criticism held that a work should be treated as though it were contemporary and anonymous whether it was a text by [[Tacitus]] or [[Ernest Hemingway|Hemingway]]. The Ghost Publishers take the belief one step further and hold that works of literature are most powerful when they are [[An(contracted; show full)eat generation|Beat]] manuscripts of the 1940s and 1950s many of which were circulated in typescript for more than ten years before eventually being published. The collections of various [[amateur press associations]] of the United States may serve in some respects as a model for the physical primitivism of the typical ghost published text. The central mainstream literary idol of the movement not surprisingly is [[Jorge Luis Borges]] whose [[Ficciones]] serve as a model for many of these anonymous writers.
    

The movement is sometimes referred to by the term [[Guerilla Publishing]] which has been co-opted by more overground efforts to publicize small press and independent publications but the anonymous writers’ movement should not be confused with these efforts at viral marketing.
