Book ideas

Hi I have what I think are good ideas for books but I know that I won't stick at it and after a few weeks , I will get fed up with it and I shall move onto another project, is there somewere or someone that I can pass on these ideas, if I got paid all the better but I wouldn't expect anything -I just need somewhehere where I can off load my ideas.

  • You could hire a writer to ghostwrite them for you (try Elance) then sell them as ebooks if you're really keen to see them written. You will have to pay well for a decent writer but might make your money back and even add some if the books are good sellers. Though self-publishing is not easy to make money off - everyone's doing it so there's a lot of competition/junk out there.

    If you get fed up of them after a few weeks, are they such good ideas? Are you sure nothing else similar has been published?

    I've suggested several ideas to specialist authors which they found favourable but the problem seems to be publishers' reluctance to commission further books.

  • Elance is good - otherwise why not just keep them and go back to them to continue?
