This project is a gift for my husband. He has a story to tell. He has shared this story many times, but only in bits and pieces. This story is a part of him, and I think it would be special for him to have a book that tells the story, and would be valuable for others to read. My husband Scott is a natural and entertaining storyteller. However, he is not a writer. That is where you come in! THE STORY: Treeplanting in the Canadian North: Finding A New Place Within (something to this effect) - Scott planted trees for approximately 5 summers (now 10 years ago) in Northern Canada. He has numerous stories of living in a tent, encountering the wild nature of the Canadian North, and the subculture of treeplanters in Canada - the gruelling nature of treeplanting (12 hour days, non-stop, mosquito and black fly bites, un-relenting chronic injuries, bear encounters, etc) combined with the strongest work mentality I have seen, allowed Scott to tap into an aspect of himself that taught him more than he could have imagined. - Scott holds the record for the most trees planted in a single day in Canada (upwards of 10,000 trees in one day!) - how he managed to achieve this is incredible: incredible strategic planning, along with a capacity to tap into an inner strength that allowed him to continue through enormous physical pain. He often talks about this place in his mind, where he knows he can move through any obstacle - physical or emotional pain - because he has experienced this test of his limits, and moved beyond it. - I am a family physician focusing in mental health and the role mindfulness meditation plays in wellbeing. When I hear Scott share about this, it is the same thing that meditation teaches. There was a deep spiritual component to his experience. There is much to be learned here through what could be a captivating story! I am looking for someone who is personable, engaging, with excellent storytelling writer skills, as well an interest in the Canadian northern wilderness, treeplanting, and spirituality. I am looking for someone who Scott could meet with to share his story verbally, and for someone to create a novel out of it.

Hello, At the outset, thank you for providing me with the opportunity to place my bid. To introduce myself, I'm a ghostwriting veteran with more than 8 years of experience in writing books for new and established authors. Essentially, I've written more than 250 books till date. I derive passion in writing and perhaps this is the biggest testament why I am among the top writers on this website. Why should you choose me you ask 1. Domain expert: I have told stories in almost all genres, including a few bestsellers in fiction & non-fiction. What you have written is intriguing and it will be my pleasure to help Scott spread his story to the world. I am an avid gardener and share Scott's passion. By leveraging this, I will be able to write another bestseller for him. 2. Committed to quality: Quality, quality, quality. This is what I live by. You will get nothing short of a best-seller; a well researched, well written book that is ready to be marketed. 100% original, no plagiarism guaranteed. 3. I write for you: Freelancer.com is proliferated with so called writers who claim a lot yet deliver nothing. There are many who will subcontract your project further. When you engage with me, it's only me who you work with. I will accept the project once you award this project and create milestones in line with the "Proposed Tasks & Milestones." Really excited to get started. Cheers

Playing with words is a source of endless fascination for me; I spend hours ruthlessly culling them from sentences like an expert hitman, unleashing my imagination to create a kaleidoscope of images on a blank page and everything in between. If you’re looking for someone, who can get inside the head of your customer and figure out how to engage with them, inform them, entice them to buy and keep them coming back to you…

Greetings! If you are looking for simple regurgitated material please do not select me for the job. I am a professional. I do high level, top of the line writing with excellent grammar. If I am given a reasonable time-frame for completion, I'll get it done. I am also an author of many non-fiction books so I am not new to writing, rewriting, editing, and proofreading material. If I can be of value, please don't hesitate to select me. Thanks Faiza Gull

Hi! I'd love to discuss your project with you further! As you'll note from my profile, I'm quite comfortable with book writing and can write in nearly any style and with nearly any tone. As previous clients can attest, I pride myself on high-quality work. I'm not happy with the final product unless you're thrilled with it, and to help make that happen, I take great pride in extensive, clear communication to make sure we have the same expectations of the final product. Additionally, I've had my fair share of difficult outdoor jobs, as well as spent entire summers exploring the mountains and other remote places on foot and on bike. I suspect as a result that I'm uniquely qualified to understand the places Scott has been - both physically and mentally - as well as the meditative aspect of the work and the solitude. I've written and edited dozens of published works previously, and would like to share my experience and skills with you; my bid as currently placed is for the work of constructing the manuscript. Any expenses incurred to meet with Scott would be additional. Conversely, we may be able to work out an arrangement at lower cost, but in which I retain a larger portion of resulting profits. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have, or to see more samples of previous work besides those shared in my portfolio. Thanks much for your consideration!
