RE: Ghost Writing?

Yeah, I don't think that's really a thing. Just about every author I know has more ideas than time, and very little inclination to write other people's ideas. He might be able to find someone if he begs, but I doubt he'll have talented authors jumping at the chance to write a story someone else is telling. Especially considering issues with cooperation, creative control, and copyright.

Well, it might be different if he's paying. Some of my friends do commissions on occasion... but there are probably better sites for that. Textbroker or fiverr or something. You can get words for moderately cheap.

What you're asking for can be done, but the amount of money that, say a patreon, would make you will never be enough to pay for the ghostwriter.

Why?

Because ghostwriters can simply write their own story to make that much. And then they don't have to deal with you telling them what to do. You'd be hefting at least some financial burden in order to make your story become a reality.


I have ghostwritten before. Several years ago I charged $5 per 500 words. This was a fairly cheap rate as far as they go, especially considering I was willing and able to write a full-length story. At my current level of skill I would charge significantly higher for ghostwriting work, though it is unlikely I would accept any work like that again unless the price was very high. My time is simply spent better elsewhere these days.

However, if you can find an up-and-coming writer from a country where your currency has more buying power, it might be possible to get a decent length story written for under $1000. Just understand that you are going to have to spend significant time proofreading and editing it yourself.
