2/ is that a novel is, with zero disrespect to painters and artists, a much bigger piece of work / time commitment than a painting. short story or novella = framed painting novel = chapel ceiling

3/ I'm gonna make up a number and declare that maybe artists work for $50/hr, and so you can commission a 1-hr JPG character drawing for $50 or a framed oil painting still life for $1,500 far fewer in the market for the latter than for the former >

4/ ...and I would ABSOLUTELY ghost write a novel for someone, at the right price point ... but I doubt I could do it in < 1,000 hours, and I'd charge more per hour (bc opportunity cost for software engineering work). Who wants to buy a novel for $100k? Beuller? Beulller?

To riff off of this, there are also big name best selling "authors" who basically write a plot outline and hand it to someone else to write. It goes under the radar because of NDAs and the name on the cover is all you see. It's not rare, it's just under the radar for most.

Wait -this isn't just a thing? I know in the old days publishers used to do something like this. I would have thought -like movies -publishers or agents would have some mechanism for connecting story ideas with talented authors -split the proceeds according to some formula.

This is why I like independent authors and read them mostly They care enough about their ideas and writing to work on it after hours and bring it up to a respectable level Can’t respect an author that doesn’t care enough about their work to write it themselves
