Once you have completed the book you will need to write three book description (400, 200 and 50 words) which can be edited by us. The descriptions will be used on our websites and on Amazon so should be vibrant and elicit the desire to read the book. Grammar nazi’s are real! This book, as all manuscripts, contains a great deal of grammatical and spelling errors, the syntax, fragments, adverb, noun and pronoun misuse will be evident to a seasoned editor. So you need to know what you are doing and what you are looking for!! Only the best please apply, time is of the essence! Thanks so much and looking forward to your applications

Dear Sir / Madam I am much interested to start working on this project. I am optimistic that you would be satisfied at my skill, experience and qualification having a look at my sample work or direct interview via message, chat or Skype. I take special care in maintaining my writing style. But please be informed that I am an assistant professor of English at a University College where I have been teaching English over two decades. Furthermore, my typing skill and accuracy is really high. As regards style of writing, I would like to focus on just one aspect of writing that is style. In the matter of writing, we frequently come across a word 'style'. We know a good writer endeavors to let others know what a writer thinks feels and sees on the panorama of life, but the mode of expressing a feeling, thought or idea differs from person to person. This different is what is called style. Furthermore we have to maintain clarity, logic, grammatical appropriateness, precision, simplicity, brevity, impressiveness, picturesqueness, melody, harmony, euphemism, mannerism, tautology, pleonasm, verbosity, prolixity and a lot more. I am sorry for elaborate writing because I don't have any alternative right at this moment make you feel who I am and what is my overall capability. Yet, on earth we know actually nothing. We are just swimming in the ocean of knowledge. That's why, a writer said, "Those blooming youth who have a desire to have a bath in the sunshine of English literature, but does not know how". Finally, I would like to sate that I have not yet taken some important Exams. However, I will take exams, indeed in due course. Thanks. I opt for a long term working relationship with you. Thanks Jafar
