@gailwesterfield

Hello! I think we would be great partners on this project because I not only have a lot of experience as a transcriber (going to a job this afternoon, in fact!) & a writer (please see my Freelancer page, including the Portfolio with a few article samples) but I have worked a lot with real estate professionals.I was ghostwriting a memoir/sales text for a prominent Northern California real estate guy, in fact, before the economy took a tumble and he decided to end the project. I can send you his testimonial about me, if you like. I have also edited a couple of real estate books when I was with Cameo Publications, & ghostwrote dozens of articles for websites and blogs about real estate, primarily when I was at Cameo Publications. I also have written newspaper articles for the local papers' real estate features section. I sounds like you are looking for a transcription to be made into a "script" for you to record as CDs. I also have an extensive background as an actor, director & producer, so that also makes this a good fit for us both. My bid may be negotiable, depending on how many hours of transcription you have and how long the process will be to turn those transcripts into scripts. I can be available on your schedule, as I freelance from home. Though I occasionally have meetings that start at 1:30 EST, I can let you know when they're coming up. Thank you for your consideration, & I hope to hear from you soon about this project! Best wishes, Gail Westerfield

Unlike some of the other bidders, I will personally write the article for you as I work for myself and by myself. I am an American by birth and a native English speaker with a Bachelor's of Science degree. Further, I have extensive experience in writing academic papers. In college, I never received less than an "A" on any one paper and mostly received "100%." Please note that I have taken and successfully passed both English and Academic Writing to Level 2, both with high percentile scores. I invite you to contact me for further details or if you are interested. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for your consideration. -Tara L.

Dear Pecuniary 3: I would absolutely LOVE this job! I like your approach and believe it is bang-on. Audio transcription is, to my mind, the absolute best way to produce readable non-fiction. I LOVE TRANSCRIBING. Transcribing is what I have done for 20 years. No, I have not worked for a transcription company--although I have done my share of legal transcriptions on the side--but as a ghostwriter and communications consultant, transcribing is one of my core services. For many of my clients, they talk as I type. What emerges is their distinct voice, even after all the editing and re-organization. I LOVE REAL ESTATE INVESTING. I took the entire Whitney course several years ago with my ex, and would love to learn more. To think of having hours of audio to listen to would significantly enhance my enjoyment of the job. CLARITY AND READABILITY TRANSLATES TO EASY LISTENING. My recommendations for your CDs will be based on 22 years of producing lucid guides for a diverse array of business clients. As a Plain Language Consultant since 1991, I develop content that is easy to read ALOUD. It enables you to keep it conversational, vary your pitch and speed, manipulate pauses, and smile as you read. My own first published book is a good example. I have also ghostwritten 4 books, and written for magazines and online sites. YES, I CAN PROVIDE THE SERVICES YOU LISTED. I have read your ad carefully and would be happy to talk every morning at 9 am your time. I'm excited! Laurie Soper

@JuneFlowers

I am a freelance Canadian Writer. I write under a pen name because I do not want the publicity. I have attended Real Estate seminars in the past such as Ed Beckly. I am a house flipper to this day, I can attribute my success to much of the information I learned at that seminar. I have created websites, business cards, flyers, company DVD advertisements and brochures. I have worked for a Real Estate Lawyer and he used voice recordings. I typed out the legal documents for the sale of real estate according to his direction. I graduated from the Institute of Law Clerks of Ontario's Real Estate Procedures with an honours standing so I am familiar with this field of business. I have used software such as Conveyancer and Terraview. I basically handled all areas of the purchase and sale of land from the offer, to final transfer under the direction of the lawyer. I am a serious person who has a pleasant sense of humour. I am not a smiling wise cracker. I would rather correspond by email. I have time to devote to this project. I also have a pleasing voice which may lend nicely to this project. I work well with others and take direction well. I am self motivated and look forward to assisting you in carrying this project through to fruition. I am excited over your endeavor because I share your love of real estate. I hope you will contact me to discuss further details about creating your CD's, booklets and flyers.

@mjkuzmak

Dear Pecuniary3, I am a writer working in Los Angeles with a Bachelor's degree in Public Communications and English Textual Studies from Syracuse University. Most of my formal training is in writing academic and persuasive pieces, and I have writing experience relevant to your job. I polish corporate language on companies’ websites and pamphlets, taking some of the starch out of a dry read and creating a more approachable feel. I am also editing a book on Western sword fighting, and although the content is markedly different, the writing process seems very similar to your proposed project. The author of this manual is a very knowledgeable individual, but his words on paper didn’t flow as smoothly as he wanted. I read his manuscript several times and made structural adjustments to make the writing more powerful and give a better pace, but we didn’t get to the heart of the material until he and I spoke. I had compiled a list of questions which I felt were unanswered, and I wanted to better serve his work. In his writing he made sweeping statements, but didn’t back up his statements in the text. The interview session revealed so much about the logic behind a system of defense which lasted for centuries, and allowed me to write a more in-depth, flowing and compelling book. He needed a less industry-specific set of eyes to make sure everything was intelligible for aspiring students. I would enjoy working on your project, and hope to speak with you soon. Regards.
