Ask HN: How to Get EBook Produced for Non Writers?
I have a friend with a personal story that I believe is very compelling and would be of interest to a lot of people. This person lost a lot of money in a business venture as part of their story. So there's a strong "lessons learned" aspect to the story which is particularly valuable imo. I think an e-book about it would be one way for them get something positive from the experience. Problem is, I'm not a writer, and neither is my friend. What are some options in this situation? From my research, it seems an adequate ghost writer would cost around $10,000 for a 100 page book. My friend has no funds to finance the endeavor. Is it possible to find a ghost writer who would work for a percentage of profits from the book? Does anyone have experience with this, either writing or commissioning such a work? 0 comments on Hacker News.
