the zen angle sounds interesting (to me anyway), it would be useful to know the length of the book in order to put in a realistic bid.
Thanks,
Dave

I'd be really interested in working on this project with you.
Unfortunately I'm based in Sheffield, not London - does the geography really matter? I have clients up and down the country that I've worked with really well, despite us never having met!
Could you let me know how many words (roughly) will be required as I'd like to put in a bid. Thanks.
Very best regards,
Josie Gregory
S. L. on 19/03/2010 18:07 pmHi Rob,
How many words long is your book?
Have you written all the text and just need someone to polish it, or do you still have sections for which more text is required?
Where do you envisage meeting to work on the project, and on what sort of timescale?
Thanks
Sophie

The book is 35,000 words long. yes it just needs polish. London would be best to meet, id imagine it will take less than one day.

I'd be very interested. I am living in Dublin so would not be in a position to meet. For the fee I would be happy to work for 10 hours. I am highly experienced in the areas of writing and editing for national newspapers (features and lifestyle mostly) and would be able to rewrite your book for you in 2-3 days.
Regards
Eddie
Here are some practical tips on staying safe
- Never pay any money to Clients and or provide sensitive details like your Bank information, Credit Card or Passwords
- Never accept a Job if you have been directed away from PeoplePerHour to another website
- Be cautious when providing your personal contact details (email, telephone number, instant message ID etc) before your Bid is accepted
- If you have been asked to send samples, put a watermark on them or send low resolution examples to avoid being exposed and not getting paid
- Don’t start work before your Bid is accepted and your Escrow deposit is made
- Keep your Escrow account topped up and ensure that you use the Private Message Board to track all pertinent details about the Job e.g. timelines, deliverables etc
- Before you supply final works to Clients, ensure you have adequate funds in Escrow
Remember: if something looks too good to be true, it probably is!
