Vanity Publishing for the rich: a ghostwritten book for 'only' $100,000

Want to write a book but can't find the time? Venture Press will set you up with a ghostwriter, edit and publish your book, for a mere $100,000 dollars. In case it wasn't obvious, my tongue is firmly in my cheek.

It's funny, I was watching Shark Tank, I can't remember which season, and someone made a pitch like this -- unsuccessfully I might add -- I wonder if it's the same person.

The Los Angeles Times has an article on Venture Press: Self-publishing for the 1%.

Thanks to Passive Guy for the link to the article.
