The requirement is for a 400 page "how to" manual to be created concerning a controversial topic.
Must be philosophically open-minded to take on this task. Must be tolerant of religious and other beliefs - subject matter is religion based. More details after your bid.
The content will contain about 40% of instruction/education, 35% step-by-step processes, and 25% exercises (fill in the blank, multiple choice etc).
Some of the pages will contain a lot of white space and will not take a lot of work. So it won't be fair to charge "by the page". Additionally, for the step-by-step guides it will be important to indicate where the illustrations and pictures should go, I will insert them later, on how to do the tasks.
After everything is put together, including the spots where pictures/illustrations go, it should be 400 pages, about 40% is meaty content, and again the 35% (step by step’s) is not as meaty (probably more white space), but still takes a little thought to put together, and then the 25% is just putting together quick exercises at the end of each unit/chapter.
I am looking for somebody that writes with a unique, friendly, and “wise?? voice. I want it to be interesting.
I have purchased 10 books on the subject and I have done a master outline of the manual, complete with detailed instructions giving an idea of what to put in each "Unit" and "Chapter" of the course.
I am looking for somebody who is skilled at taking the “ideas?? out of a variety of different sources, and blending the main ideas together in his/her own words in an interesting fashion.
I won’t tolerate blatant plagiarism ??" it is not ethical, and is illegal.
After I accept your bid (I'd preferably like to discuss with you over the phone first, if possible) I wil ship you the 10 books, and will have already given to you the master outline with instructions.
