He wants someone getting an MFA or in J-school (Columbia or NYU only, none of you lesser colleges, thanks!), with development editing skills ("you can shape material"), to give him 6 months of his/her life (he can't even say that straight-faced -- "ok, maybe a year. it depends" -- so we're looking at 18 months)...FOR FREE?</p> <p>He's got some imagination if he thinks this is an internship. This isn't even research assistant. Reading between the lines (i.e., his ridiculous list of requirements) it sounds like the work is equal to the higher end of ghostwriting work and deserves a flat fee or a portion of the advance or some combination thereof.</p> <p>Someone should go apply for it and write back!!
