| steve38 | Posted – 5/9/2008 5:47:08 PM | show profile | email poster I started a copywriting business after years as a journalist, and I'm writing for websites and doing articles for a variety of clients. I've been approached by someone who wants me to ghostwrite a book for them, and I'm looking for any guidance on how to structure the deal and on how to figure out how much to charge. It's a book about how to conduct high-end job recruiting in the financial services industry. The guy prefers to split the profits (if there are any!), but of course I'm going to tell him I need money up front. But how much? What do I base the amount on? |
