Do you ever feel guilty for helping people lie about having written something?

No, not at all. As far as ethics go, I really love that I work a job where I don't have to exploit anyone below me for labor, I am not exploited by any corporation, and all my money comes from a consensual working relationship with my client. In almost any other job or any other industry somewhere along the line I'd have to be part of a system where labor is abused, which to me is the far bigger ethical issue. Nobody is being harmed if someone else's name is on my book and I was well compensated for the copyright. For me, my moral compass and any guilt I'd feel is from doing real harm in the world and this is pretty harmless.

Do you agree that someone putting their name as the author of a book that they didn't write makes them a liar?

I'd never call them a liar because it feels derogatory and aggressive. Not gonna police what other people call it, though.
