Re: Ghost writer (Manhattan, NYC)

I found this response to an ad on Craig’s List and I couldn’t agree more.  There are legit opportunities on CL, but it’s people like this who make everything look suspect.

Wait a minute, this person wants a book turned into a screenplay, two drafts, and is only willing to pay $500 for it, payable after the drafts are completed. Says that there are big name actors attached to the project, but can’t afford to pay a writer more than $500. Something is not right here.

Indie film producer seeks an experienced and creative ghost writer for a feature screenplay. Writer must be familiar with New York and Los Angeles and must be skilled to write a biopic.

This is a book to script.

A trailer of the film is being completed and there are major name actors participating in this project. This is a SAG project and a great opportunity for a writer.
