Hey everyone!
First, I would like to say thanks for reading this, and yet another new guy to Young Entrepreneur has arrived.
Now I know this is probably not the best way to start off, but I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me with a book project. I've never written novel-sized literature before and am ready to take that step forward. There is a recent piece I've done if anyone wants to read it, it's very short (4k words) with somewhat of a beginning, middle, and end all smudged together for a quick read, just e-mail me and I'll send it over to you. It was done as a compliment story to another forum I was at before I left. The reason being to give a slight idea of my writing style/imagination, though it wasn't exactly planned (did it in one sitting without much to work on besides how I wanted it to end.)
What I would like some assistance with though, is from someone with an open mind and at least a decent reader who could give good advice throughout the process of writing the book, in which I presume to be a couple months. And ofcourse, though I don't like saying this much, some financial assistance when it comes to publishing the book or throughout whatever trials or procedures appear whilst in the process of making the book (I would love to say, 'And then throw in a thousand dollars so I can buy that laptop I want because I'm not home that much'... but I won't push it.')
I can't offer anything upfront to anyone who helps me, just my word and probably we could do something in writing that affirms that person will get 50% (or whatever we work out) of my loyalties from the book.
I already have some ideas for my book, and would love some help choosing which one to go with as well.
Now really, I'm only sixteen and working a fifty-hour week making around eighteen-hundred a month, most of which goes towards my parent, and then what I need to get to work and to keep working (food!) So I'm not too financially stable... But I am a pretty organized person and can stick to a schedule. I have Saturdays and Sundays which I can put towards any writing projects, and can write about a thousand words an hour (just for clearification, I can write a thousand scripted words an hour, like the story I mentioned above was completely planned, etc, and written in that one sitting of four hours. At basic typing speed I average about 100wpm as constantly affirmed by ATRT.) so I believe I could probably do a chapter every week, squeezing in some words every night.
So if anybody is interested, my email address is

Oh, and this is probably pushing the red button, but, if anyone here would like to pamper me with fifteen-hundred a month so that I can justify leaving my job and putting 'all' my time of a hundred or more hours a week towards my book then that would be, like, awesome.
Heck, I'd be glad to split the royalties 25/75, and imagine what that would be if my book becomes a bestseller, or something like 'over a million copies sold worldwide' It's no 'Divinci Code' but I'm sure I could come close
Thanks, really, this is probably an uber long post by now. So thanks for reading it. -Daniel
