Hi there - I put an amount into the bid box because I believe we have to, however, this is a job I am willing to do for free, with the agreement that if it is sold, I would receive a small percentage from the actual sale of the publication. For you this is a win win situation as you can see the work up front, have input into it and if the end result is not to your satisfaction, then you have lost nothing.
I am an avid writer who has one novel (teen genre) being looked at by a publishing house here in Canada, I have another children's picture book that is also being shopped to a few American publishing houses. I am easy to work with and would consider this a collaboration, as I would very much want to hear your thoughts on a chapter by chapter basis. I also read, and critique, film scripts and films for a local film festival here in Toronto and am very familiar with the industry and how to build a story around a script. (I'm an actor here as well) I would love the opportunity to work on this project with you, but good luck regardless of what you decide!! Take care!
