I've written a book about 180 +/- pages. I've re-read it so many times I need some fresh eyes to help me fine tune my work before I persue publishing. I need my work proofread for punctuation and grammer. I also feel that it's rough and wordy in some spots - like some paragraphs could be rewritten and simplified into a few sentences. I want to make sure the integrity of my work is maintained. It is also very important that my message and information is delivered in clear and understandable way. Only the first chapter of this project is up for bid. (will be awarded 14 pages total) I want to be able to see if we can work together and if you understand and can accomplish what I need. If you do, I'll award you the rest of the chapters. A nondisclosure agreement is required before the chapter will be sent. I also want to speak to you before you start to make sure you understand what I'm looking for and to make sure I understand your work process and style. English only. Non US bids will be declined. ------------------------------------------ Added 5 FEB 2012, 10:08 AM EST 1st chapter has 7,273 total words. I grossly over-estimated my total page count. After some late night tweaking the entire book now has 100 pages. (microsoft word, 8.5 x 11 page size) I should also mention my name is Carmen... not Mike : ) I pretended to be a guy when setting up this account. You'd be surprised how HTML programming bid prices jump for women.
