Help writing a Buddhist book? I'm working on a book about Enlightenment as cessation of Reification, and thinking of hiring a professional writer to help me put it down in good English. So far I have spoken with scribewriting.com, but I want to expand my search to include more options:


Does anyone have a clue where I can find a professional writer for hire that would be interested in exploring some Buddhist ideas?
How much should this cost? scribewriting.com folks charge $36k end-to-end, is this normal?
What are the best ways to raise funds for a Buddhist project? Does anyone know a  philanthropist that would consider sponsoring a Buddhist project like this?
Would Kickstarter be a good way to market a Buddhist book (before it was finished), or should I go to a traditional Buddhist publisher like Snow Lion or Wisdom Publications?
Anything else I need to know but forgot to ask?
If I launched a Kickstarter campaign, would any of you guys consider pre-ordering a book before it was written?


I will pre-order the book.
