A ghost that I know writes, but he only knows how to spell 'Boo!'
(Sorry, but I couldn't help myself.) |

There are lots of freelance writers in Shanghai- maybe if you had a classified advert saying what it is you want, and how much you're going to pay. |

pardon unenlighten rambling of a newbie... but ghost writers are...
a. writers that wrote books about ghost?
b. restless spirit of the dead came back to write a novel?
c. someone who impersonates other writers?

Get in touch with the expat mags. Many journalists are aspiring writers. |

A man in the shadows slumped against the rain-spattered wall and his pretty lady companion gave an almighty scream. |

Is this another one of those "we want you to write a 1000-word case study on why Company X is being green" (when they're not) for 100RMB? |

Yep, and then they'll correct your (incorrect according to their friend who once saw an English DVD) English and get you to do 30 re-writes until it's identical to their original Chinglish brief.
Been there before (with several major Chinese corporations).
I have a perfectly good 2B pencil I'd rather spend time plunging into my eyeball instead.
Pass. |

I am also a writer. Everything from fiction to soulless advertising. What is the project? |
