Smaug the Unmerciful Editor (goodreadscomsupremedrake) | 28 comments Hello, all writers! I am an editor who loves to edit. I have many ideas that seem (to me) unique and with great potential. I also have a distinct lack of clients and good books to edit, and no writing talent whatsoever.

I am looking for a writer who would like to team up with me. I want to be their book partner, which means editing and working on their manuscripts, letting them use my story ideas, and generally acting as a team. Anyone who is interested may want to know that it's hard for me to give up my ideas to anyone, so I'm fine with the idea of starting slower.

Summed up: if anyone wants to write from someone else's ideas and have an editor on hand, please contact me or respond! I thank you.

(My schedule isn't concrete; I'm still attending college, so I will have much more time during winter and summer breaks.)

K Ascalon | 9 comments So just to be clear for others, it sounds like what you really want is a ghostwriter. Correct?

It's sort of like a ghostwriter, but there a few things that are different. For one, you won't be paid anything, and the involvement and interaction will be a lot more than a business deal. In addition, I would love to help with the writer's stuff and manuscripts, so both parties support each other.

The thing is, a lot of my ideas aren't ready to be written. I have the idea, and some crucial details, but they aren't complete. The "ghostwriter" would have a big part in developing the ideas more thoroughly. It's almost like they would be the other half of the brain.
