Background Laurie Woods DFC is a 91 year old veteran of Bomber Command who flew 35 missions over Europe as a navigator/bomb aimer. He has written 3 books. The first called Flying into the Mouth of Hell is his biography of enlisting, air force training and missions over Europe. Like many in that era he suffered psychologically after the war but did not get appropriate treatment nor did he talk about the experiences. Writing the book in 2003 was very helpful as the nightmares reduced to zero. He then spoke more freely about the war, but not about his emotions and feelings. The Job We want a book written that starts with his discharge from the war. We want to recount his missions through his nightmares and end the book when he leaves his wife and finds true love. Write a biography of 70,000-80,000 words using the following information: The Writer You will need to provide samples of your work to assess your writing ability. You will need to provide the first chapter for free to assess the style of the writing. 1. Partly written biography of the period after the war 2. Biography of the war period 3.

Hello wfcobp, I would consider it an honour and privilege to contribute to the writing of 'Back From Hell' for Mr Woods and hereby put myself forward as a candidate. I am a full-time writer working across many media platforms and would be able to commit to the assignment with dedication and commitment. Please have a look at my portfolio for evidence of my writing ability, style and quality. These I hope will give you a good indication of what I can do. I do currently have a book that I helped write and edit on sale with Amazon. This is the link - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prince-Shadowy-Srin-Wongsawad-Douglas-ebook/dp/B00BOZCOZY/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389292870&sr=1-1&keywords=prince+shadowy I am quite proud of this work as the lady's English was not good, but I made a special effort to make sure her story came over in her voice. This took hours of deciphering her writing to form the book that it now is. You can see the text version in my portfolio. I am happy to write a sample first chapter based on material supplied and my fee will include re-drafting until you/Mr Woods are completely satisfied with the end result. I can be available for skype conversations if that helps. My skype is - mitch.wicking. Thank you for considering my application and I hope very much to hear from you. All the best, Mitch.

Hi, thank you for posting your project. I believe that you will find me to be the best candidate for this position because I can write in a variety of styles. I have written everything from self help books to romance and erotica, all with excellent reviews. You can see some samples of my skill in my portfolio, but I have several more samples that I can show you upon request. You can read reviews from my past employers on my profile page. Should you hire me, I can guarantee that the book will be written entirely by me. I don't have a team of writers to pass the work off to, so you can expect the same quality work throughout the whole process. If you would like to discuss details, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for considering my proposal. Have a wonderful day! Christa

Hi there! Local Aussie! I am a Melbourne-based professional creative writer with published works for business, government and the corporate/education sector. I have just placed a bid for your Back From Hell project. I have worked on publications from concept to development and through to publishing. I recently finished a 2-year contract designing, writing and editing print materials for the New South Wales (Australia) government and two recent projects on Freelancer; proofreading and re-writing an academic (PhD) Civil Aviation thesis on Air Safety and writing/editing a 20k word novella. I am drawn to your project because I have a great love of history - particularly WWII. My recent work for the NSW government revolved around a documentary about the history of Corrections (Convict and Modern eras). It would be great to discuss this project with you further. I'm ready for an immediate start and would be happy to send samples as required. With me there’s no gimmicks or false claims, just good, professional work delivered on time. Hope to hear from you and good luck with the project. Thank you, Ray.

I've got 20 years of writing experience of various kinds. A lot of it has been academic writing, but I've also done a great deal of writing for general audiences. In addition, I've been a small-town pastor for 6 years and a full-time hospital chaplain for one. I have heard many, many people--especially older people--tell their stories and I've learned to listen carefully and respectfully. My writing is excellent, and in addition I will make sure that Laurie's story and his distinctive voice can be heard by the whole world. It would be an honor to work on this project with you and Laurie.

Hello, My name is winnona and I would like to put a bid of 3500 and 90 days to complete it in. I have ghost written a few books and I know I can write the book you are looking for. First of all it sounds like an interesting book and one I would like to do. I have found that the best way to ghost write a book is to work on it chapter by chapter. That would mean that after I get an idea of the information you want in the book , I write the chapter send it to you . If you like it I go to the next chapter. If you do not like it I rewrite it until you do. That way you always now where we are in the book and that you are getting exactly what you want. I understand that I will be writing the first chapter on a trial basis. If you do not like it I will not get the job and I am fine with that. As an example of my writing I am sending you a sample I did for a western story. I can not send you any of my ghost writing writing because of the agreements I have signed. Again it sounds like an interesting book and I would like a chance to write it.

Hey, I just noticed the bid you posted for this job, and look forward to discuss the details. I am a dedicated, talented, passionate and experienced Article Writer / Re-writer / Ghost writer / Content writer / Report writer / SEO writer. Though I prefer to write facts only, but I can be creative and can even demonstrate vivid imagination in my articles, if the subject so demands. I take my work very seriously, and like to do thorough research on the subject, before writing anything. And, I am sure, you won't regret engaging me in your project. For a sample of my writing skills, please refer to my portfolio. Hope to hear soon from you. Thanks and regards.
