Which sentence is correct?
1. Many ghostwriters (including me) have experience as a journalist.
2. Many ghostwriters (including myself) have experience as a journalist.
#1 is correct. As Bryan Garner explains in Garner’s Modern English Usage,
“Myself is best used either reflexively (‘I’ve decided to exclude myself from consideration’) or intensively (‘I myself have seen that’; ‘I’ve done that myself’). The word shouldn’t appear as a substitute for I or me (‘My wife and myself were delighted to see you’).”
myself
