Check out this ad! This unnamed team of otherwise highly accomplished business and publishing executives wants YOU to write a novel for them! Does anyone else smell a scam???
Fiction Writer/Editor Wanted -- Highly accomplished team of business and publishing executives is looking for a skilled writer with special acumen in character development and the collaborative process to help complete a complex novel that has strong commercial appeal. The story is fully plotted with a partial draft completed, but we are open to creative ideas on structure, characters or color.
The story is a timely, dark comedy that takes place in the rarefied world of San Francisco society. No personal knowledge of S.F. is required. More details will be forthcoming for interested and qualified applicants.
The creative team consists of a Wall Street executive (and former journalist), a Los Angeles-based television executive, a top NY-based magazine and book editor and a senior editor at a major metropolitan newspaper who has written and directed three films.
The contracted agreement is for $10,000 and 10% of net publishing revenues after agent and editing fees. Please do not respond if not a published author from a reputable publishing house or with an MFA degree or with significant editing and writing experience in fiction.
