I am looking for someone to take my ideas, write a book (200 - 400 pages) with my editing, and submit it for publication. The catch - I want no credit for it. I want you to be the only listed author. I want you to get any fame associated with it. I am more concerned that I have ideas that become a reality but I don't have the time to do it and my personal life will not allow me to be the "face" of any publicity campaign. All that I ask is for a repayment of double what I pay you if the book actually gets published somewhere. I look forward to replies.

Greetings! Well, this is certainly an intriguing situation - I commend you on your ingenuity in throwing out the unique terms associated with this project! Like many of the other writers bidding here, I have done an extensive amount of ghostwriting over the past 20 years; in that time, I have also published under my own name, worked in a wide cross-section of genres, and done a lot of editing along the way. I love creating fiction from an intriguing plot line, and am eager to read/learn more about your ideas for this book. I'm a stickler for proper grammar and spelling; I also enjoy creating riveting dialogue and exposition. In some of the fiction writing I've done, I have created some unique euphemisms and even snippets of original language (where E.T.s, paranormal characters, etc., have been involved) If you would like to see some samples of my work, please respond with a private message which would give me a bit more of an idea of your concept; that way I could submit samples which would be most on target. I would also be happy to create up to 5 or 6 pages totally on spec, if you provide the genesis of the story line. I often do this for prospective clients, as I feel it is one of the best representations of whether I have the "write stuff" which you are seeking. I am also open to doing whatever it would take to land a literary agent, publisher, and/or go the e-book route - I have experience creating effective book proposal packages as well as POD and e-book self-publishing. Knowing that I will get full writing credit is certainly that much more fuel for fodder in making sure publication is the end result :-) Thanks for your time & consideration, and best wishes with your book! I would love to be the one to bring it to life for you. Sincerely, Cheryl E. Booth

Hello, I will be happy to write a book based on your ideas. I also have no problem with sharing any profits from its being published. My best writing has been done as research papers and fiction, but I believe I am competent in all areas of writing. Thanks for the invite to bid. Mike Chalmers

I am incredibly interested in this project. I am an aspiring author myself, writing is not only the way in which I am trying to make a living, it is also my hobby, and my greatest passion. I would be thrilled to work on a novel with someone else, as that strikes me as a ton of fun. I can type roughly 70 word per minute, and I have some stuff I've written in the past (including an unpublished fiction novel) that I can send you if you would like to know my style.

I completed the prestigious Masters programme in Creative Writing at the International Institute of Modern Letters, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, in 2011. I was a double runner up in New Zealand's premier short story competition in 2011, and edited Turbine, the institute's online journal. I wrote a 90,000 word novel while doing the Masters. I have put in a bid at the top of your range, and put in a realistic number of days for the size of project. As an experienced writer, I would encourage you to accept that a project this size is a substantial amount of work and you need to allow a good budget and a decent amount of time. A lower bid and an unrealistic number of days will lead only to disappointment!

I'm a professional English translator. (English to Spanish / Spanish to English) I have excellent writing skills, both languages. I love reading and writing and I'd love to be part of this project. I'm from Argentina. So I can actually write your book ideas in both languages, or at least in one and then provide the translation. I assure you 100% quality work. Please consider my bid. Feel free to PM me, and get in touch with me for further info.

Hello. I can see why this is such an attractive proposal to so many disparate writers. I want to do this, so here's an entertaining challenge for the two of us: As an 'acid test', send me a synopsis of a short story you would want to write (can be as simple as you like). I'll write the story and send it to you - if you like it, fantastic. Then you edit it and send it back - if I like it, fantastic. Then we work together to bring your ideas to fruition. If not, we go our separate ways and maybe have a e-pint about it in the future. All the best.

Hello! I am new here but I am aspiring to be a publisher/editor in the near future. However, I also love to write! They only problem I have is getting ideas; and when I saw this I thought, "What a great opportunity!" I have written a few things in the past, mostly just little stories to pass the time, but I would love to dedicate myself to this job! Please consider me. :)

Your interesting proposal to write a novel based on your ideas (and life?) is something I would be willing to take on. I am in the process of finishing a short story collection, parts of which have already been published in quality literary journals. Also, I have started writing a memoir. This proposed collaboration would be a joy to pursue. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Bennington College, where I worked mostly with stellar novelists. I will PMB you links to a couple pieces of my fiction. If my writing is consonant with how you envision this book, I'd be happy to work with you.

I am an accomplished author and would love to publish this for you. I have published a ground breaking novel with mass underground acclaim and have contacts in the publishing industry that soon are looking to develop into a hit success. I would love to take your original ideas and attempt to make a winning sensation. Are you publishing this or Is the writer? I am looking in the long run for my work to be massively successful so for giving me the job I would give you 20 times your payment if I publish it and of half of all the proceeds if that wets your whistle, hehe. i am a virtuoso and am up and coming so id love to give this this a chance at becoming famous. Let me know what you think. I sent you a sample of my writing in personnel message. Have a wonderful summer evening!
