| User | goofy | | Topic | Help Please | | Message | I’m writing a manuscript about my family for posterity. A young student is doing all the typing for me. Question is, in the Acknowledgements page, how do I refer to him? I know he’s not a co-Author or a Ghost-Writer, what description does his contribution fit in my writing effort. He’s dedicated to helping me get all my thoughts on paper and I’d like to commend him for his help. |

"And thanks to <name> who did the typing I was too lazy to do"
I mean no offence with this, I just thought it would be a light-hearted way to mention this student friend of yours and his contribution to your manuscript.. |
| User | The_Angelic_Dea | 2005-10-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | ah just re read and realised - just refer to him by name and say thanks for all your help |
| User | The_Angelic_Dea | 2005-10-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | could you put it in the dedication? |
| User | DeepDreamer2008 | 2005-10-27 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Hmm... Well, you could simply refer to him with something like:
And I give many thanks to the person who has helped me throughout the course of writing [name]. Without him/her this book would never have been made.
Okay, that sounded pretty lame, but you can shape it into your own words. When acknowledging someone you don’t have to give them a title, really. The fact that you mentioned them is enough.
