Title: Writer looking for work!
Post by: Protoverse on December 24, 2013, 11:46:02 PM
Hey BTCtalk. I was browsing around and figured the best way to enjoy Bitcoin is to use it what is was originally for: currency, not USD market play.

So, I decided that I'd like to write for people.

My genres are horror, fantasy, sci-fi, erotica, contemporary and adventure. My favorite authors are Palahnuik, Barker, Steinbeck, Lovecraft, King, Poe, Alan Dean Foster, Simon R. Green, Carl Sagan and Micheal Crichton. I want to be clear about this: I will literally write *anything* you want. Literally. I'll even make a cover for it in case you want to sell it on Kindle or something.

I guess I just need help deciding prices.

Had to switch over to Linux.

Short Story (1k - 10k words) @ 0.05 BTC
Novella (10k - 40k words) @ .1 BTC
Novel (40k - 80k words) @ 1 BTC

You're willing to write a novel for 1 BTC? How long would that take you?

Oh, definitely. That's a lot of money. I'm willing to break my fingertips typing for that kind of payment.

You can check out my publishing house here: https://www.facebook.com/dark.nexus.fiction

We're just starting out, but one of our authors has some stuff published already under a different house. I could even acquire him to write for you if you're not a fan of my samples.

And who said book publishing was dead. An entire novel written for you for $600 - oh my.

That's why it looks dead if people are willing to spend weeks writing for such price. There must be a lot of competition. George Martin getting all the profits :D

What would be a better price/time ratio? I always wonder when people comment.

Who knows - just if someone was prepared to write 40K to 80K words for me for $700 I would expect junk, and who wants junk produced?

Good point. Hmm, while I'm tempted to defend myself, I'm more interested in buyer confidence. Maybe I should make it 2 BTC?
