I have some ideas for book/s, but I wouldn't want to be the author of them.
I was thinking about hiring someone to publish them for me, to pretend to be the author of the book/s for my behalf. I know I could just write the books and sell them to this person, but I don't know the value of the books, I could only estimate it, I can't know how much the 'fake author' will make money with them, meaning I might over/under estimate the value of my books. Is there a way I could bind this fake author to give 70 percent of their income from the books to me?
Also what if the person I hired to be the author decides to be an *sshole in interviews or to the fans of the books... Could I legally control what the author of my book says or writes publicly?
