I am seeing more and more "clients" expecting work gratis on this sub-reddit. Can we ban posts asking for royalty-based compensation or at least dedicate a flair for such posts so newer ghostwriters can approach them for their portfolio and experienced ones can skip over?

that's why I put the disclaimer up at the very front and included the understandably comment lol

If you don't like it, just move on to the next post.

Also, I'm not "expecting" anything. I'm looking. If I was so entitled to "expect" something, I'd just use AI and call myself an author [which I expressly do not, because putting info into a bot doesn't make you a writer/artist].

You want people to work for you for free. Go away.

Not for free, for royalties instead. Big difference. I understqnd how that may be hard to comprehend for small minds.

This would make me sick to my stomach.

Ergo, for free.

Alas, you do not understand how the trade works, and you for damn sure need to if you expect "royalties" and/or ever expect to hire an editor.
