Hmm... I could make a map for this. Not sure how it would change world history, though. Writing about this, not sure how good of a job I could do.

This would be really hard to write on, you know, especially considering that their is no good ending...

And I'm fairly certain that no "good" ghostwriter would do it for $125.

Wouldn't have to change world history. Also, I've seen your TL, I'm sure you could do a competent job.

I'd do it, for more money. And even then, my intense bias concerning the Russian royalty would likely pollute the story from what you want it to be.

Perhaps you should advertise this request on Craig'sList?

Hey, I'm just saying...

I'm fairly certain nobody who has any time would be able/want to do this in a timely manner. Having time can=unemployed... If you're unemployed you want money.

Hence, my suggestion is to not hire anyone and save the money/need to credit someone else.

If you can't pay a good deal for a ghost writer, you're going to have to.

My point exactly... you will never find a good ghostwriter who will do a novella for so little.

I'm not even a ghostwriter by trade but I'm probably a good enough writer but I won't do it either for so little money... I have much better stuff to do with my time (no offense).

I have to agree with everyone who said you can't get a decent ghostwriter for $125. If someone is a good enough writer to do this properly, they can find other writing gigs that pay more.
