I've developed an outline for a novel set in a war setting. The problem is I'm more of a nonfiction writer. I'd like to work with a co-author.....I can provide the outline of each chapter and have the co-author flesh it out in written form. I'll then edit this into final form. If the book sells, we of course split profits 50/50....and if it doesn't sell, then it was an experience for both of us. But even if a conventional publisher doesn't buy it, we can upload it to LuLu.com and sell it one copy at a time by pointing interestd people to the weblink there. That's only if we can't sell it conventionally though. Please let me know if you want to get together and discuss this. My name is Rich.
