My friend wants to publish a nichy book

He has severe arthritis but remains a body builder. Someone at the Arthritis foundation wants him to give talks and possibly write a book, but he has no idea where to start.

He’s not a writer, so he’ll need a ghost writer. Should he contact a publisher first? Would he need an agent? I have no idea what to tell him. Any way you could help would be appreciated.

Have him look around T-Nation. There are a few folks there who’ve had bodybuilding/powerlifting/etc. books published, so the advice can help, and if he can get an article published there, it might help a lot.
