A very popular facebook page I follow was recently asked why they didn't write a book about their experiences. The owners responded with "we don't have the time." Immediately I thought of volunteering to write one for them. A traditional ghostwriting agreement wouldn't go over very well here, because they don't have a lot of money to give for such a product. I'd love to just write it myself, but I'd like the owners to have some portion of money go to their cause.
The best way to do it, at least in my eyes, would be writing it "with" them. I'm sure everyone here has seen books written by such and such well known figure, "with" an additional author. The only thing that has stopped me from writing them to suggest it is that I'm not totally sure how it works. I understand I'd be essentially doing all the writing, and I'm fine with that, but how is a contract like that set up? Anyone done this before or has any links about it I could read?
