Dear Superstar Editor – you are organized and possess better grammar skills than I do.

You are going to get me to my goal – I am writing a non-fiction work and I will be finishing it in 90 days. The baseline content will be from my blog.

Your assignment will be to first scrape the ~200 posts (generally between 200-800 words each) I have authored in the last 4 years and evaluate the categories these posts have been labeled. Then, to organize them into a proposed “Table of Contents” and identify what chapters they would fall into and how much writing would be needed to transition the pieces. I am totally aware that the blog was written toward a broader audience than the print book is geared to. Your assignment also includes determining which ones you do not feel should be part of the final publication, ie, better suited for a separate book.

I want a flat fee bid from you on the scraping and organizing and a date you think you can deliver it to me by.

If you are the superstar copyeditor who works with me on this, I will pay you hourly for the work that comes after, ie, the editing part.

When responding to this post, please do the following:
1) put “I’m a Superstar Editor” in your subject header
2) answer the question, “Why I would be perfect for this gig.” in your text email
3) provide 3 samples of your original writing or the pieces you have wordsmithed for other authors
4) your short bio
5) the hourly rate you expect to be paid for the editing/proofing/wordsmithing

When I respond to YOUR email, I will give you the blog URL and ask you for a flat fee bid and time estimate.

THANK YOU and I look forward to working with YOU — principals only.
