"Ghost Writer" is a rather unusual way of describing what is presumably a "Script Doctor" - I've never heard it put that way before.

Quoted from SimonM

A ghost writer is someone who gets paid to write for you, but don't get credit. Let's say someone wants to write a script based on their life, but they can't write worth a darn on their own. They might hire a writer to write the script or book for them. Many celebrity books are written this way. "I really wanted to get my story out there." And, that's probably true, but more often than not, they didn't actually write the book. Someone else did the actual writing.

My pleasure Simon, and as Pia said a 'ghost writer' is someone paid to write a story/script but usually without any acknowledgment or credit given to them.

Heard the term in relation to novels but never script writing, that's what I found odd.
