They usually get a set amount payable on submitting a final draft, or a salary. Which, if it’s an ego project, might be more lucrative than a percentage of profits.
Ghost Writer?
No, GhostWriter!
This show was the shit when I was a kid!
Word!
In the sky?
They seem to help kids solve mysteries by encouraging them to read and write. Not sure what the split on that is though
It’s definitely not 50/50, there would be a negotiated amount (Fixed or percentage) less than that. The ghostwriter may be employed by the publisher and just receive a salary too.
Step 1: become or enthrall a ghost
Step 2: write
How do you forget step 3!
I think they’re usually paid by the word. They don’t get residuals.
It’s situational. There’s no fixed rule.
