Country Profile e-Book Author Needed .. FUN Project!

Greetings everyone, I am authoring a series of books on various countries around the world and need some talented writers and e-book creators to help me in this task. You will have two choices in regards to payment: 1.) I will pay you a flat fee (your bid price) via GAF escrow and All rights to the book will remain mine (however I would be very happy to include your full name in the "acknowledgements" page), and only my name will appear as the author, meaning you get paid once and that is it. 2.) I will pay you a very small fee ($1) via GAF escrow but you will retain 20% rights to the ebook which could net you thousands of dollars over the next few years as my books sell, AND you will be named on the front cover as co-author. The job at hand is to create an e-book, cover and all and then write the chapters I instruct you to write (I will be writing parts of it as well, along with proofing, editing and the like). Below is a sample (not a real country) that will give you an idea of what you will be doing. The books will be quite large, but I will be writing the majority of the chapters. Below is a sample of what you would be responsible for: ---------------------------- SAMPLE: ----------------------------- Map of country Table of Contents Chapter 2 – About the country An Introduction to the country Location Climate People Infrastructure A Look at the Country's Regions Who's Settling in the country? Chapter 3 – A Short History of the country The Future of the country's Politics Chapter 4 – The language A List of Words to Know Chapter 5 – Choosing a Location and Finding a Home Maps of different areas Details of different areas The Real Estate Market in the different areas Preferred Contacts in each group Which area is right for you?

I will be providing a complete outline and will be right there every step of the way in regards to communication to ensure a good product. *** PROJECT BID DETAILS ***: Please bid on a per word basis or per book basis, just PM or leave details right in your bid. The e-book creation, maps, insertion of pics (the more the better!), should be figured into the bid price. Also, please be as realistic as you can be about time frame. Do not bid 7 days and then take 27 days to finish! if it will take you 120 days, then bid 120 days ... hinesty is the best policy! Also, I am looking to do MANY of these books and if you do a good job on one, I would love to hire you time and time again! ****************************** FINALLY, below is a list of countries I would like to cover, so please tell me WHICH COUNTRY you want to write about in your bid: ****************************** COUNTRY LIST: ALL non-EU European countries (Ukraine, etc) ALL South American Countries Except Argentina and Uruguay ALL Central American Countries except Panama, C.R. and Nicaragua ALL South Pacific Island Countries Except Tonga and Philippines Antigua and Barbuda Bahamas Barbados Botswana Cape Verde Cyprus Ghana Grenada Haiti Israel Jamaica Jordan Kenya Madagascar Namibia Scotland Zambia Zimbabwe ------------------------------ I hope to hear from you soon, hilaryJ P.S.
