God, didn't that suck. Note to self: never again! Now I'll have to edit the thing. Mind you, I was more or less flying without a net - I'd ask a string of questions and get an answer like, "yes to all." It was an unbelievably frustrating experience. But I must have done something right, because I've been asked to work on a script based on the book for an informational video. Is it worth the hassle for a thin check? Ugh! Chalk it up to experience...

I managed to eek out a living by freelancing articles and writing children's nonfiction, all with my name in the byline. I didn't make a lot of money, but I've always published under the same name, something I'm happy for. Giving a string of "yes to all" questions a viable presence in the marketplace, with someone else's name on the cover, can't have been an easy decision. I hope the book does well, so you at least have a sense of satisfaction for all that time spent. So question: has anyone else considered ghostwriting?

I would want my name on what I had written. Rene' ~ mom to Collin (17) Brandon (15) BreAnna (14) Madison (10) Ryan (8) and Joshua (4) Cheaper By the Half Dozen Write Talk!

Anything else I would probably want a coauthor credit or something. Depends on the project.
