TRAVEL GUIDES ON-GOING WORK

Bidder Comments : Hello,
I have read over your project and it is very possible that you just may have drummed yourself up a writer in your 24 hour timeframe. I have been writing for quite some time now. I am an individual, not a company , so I do not farm out my work, I do it myself. I work at my writing full time from my home office. I am a self starter that does not require constant supervision. I have done quite a bit of travel writing as well as several eBooks. I am looking for steady and full time work from someone that is willing to pay more than a penny per word. The way this is set up on my end is for a minimum bid of $17,500 or the system will not let me bid. I hope to hear from you and I will be happy to forward you some of the work that I have done in the past.
Thank you for your time,
Cheryl Hinneburg

Bidder Comments : Hello,

I'm a native English speaker and a very experienced writer. I love to travel, after my degree I spent quite a long time traveling.

My bid is $350 per guide, however I am unable to enter a bid for one individual guide because you have set the budget to 25-50k, the minimum I can bid is $17,500, which is why my bid is so high!

I would like the opportunity to work on you on an ongoing basis. Completing four books per month won't be a problem. If I did get this project then it would become my new full time job. This would ensure that I could satisfy your needs.

I'm a very hard working person and will go the extra mile to make sure you're happy with my work.

I have a lot of travel writing experience, and also book writing experience. I could also help with printing if required as I have some good contacts in China.

I've visited China many times, and my wife is from there (hence the contacts), and so writing guides about there would be especially easy! I'm a great researcher and can write travel guides from anywhere.

I'm a fan of the lonely planet format of travel guides, would that be something that you're looking to emulate?

Please find samples attached in pdf format as requested

I'm also quite a nice guy, even if I do say so myself and have a good sense of humor! I like to think of my customers as friends rather than business acquaintances! If I'm in the running I'd appreciate it if you could let me know, March is a long time to wait to find out!

Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you

Andrew

Bidder Comments : Thank you for the opportunity to submit a bid for your project. I’m a experienced and committed writer who can write engaging and informative travel books for your company.

I have several years of experience in marketing, copy writing, and public relations. I'm also an avid traveler and have lived in several different countries. This experience, matched with my educational background in Journalism and International Business, makes me a perfect choice for this project.

Please see attached writing samples to learn more about my experience and writing style.

My bid for this project is $500 per ebook. I can commit to a long-term working relationship.

Please feel free to contact me via PMB or at meagan @ meaganmorris.com. I know I'm the perfect choice for this project and I look forward to working with you very soon!

Bidder Comments : I am a skilled writer with a passion for travel and am confident I could produce excellent content for your travel guides. I have written for Trazzler.com, EuropeUpClose.com, CheapEurope.com, and two other elance clients, from whom I have received excellent feedback. I am hardworking, dedicated, and adept at research. I am looking to form a long-term writing relationship and would love to undertake a project such as this. No, I do not have book writing experience (if that is an absolute deal-breaker, then I apologize for taking your time) however I would like to offer you a no-risk proposal.

Should you not find the perfect candidate through this posting, I'd be more than happy to produce one sample guide for you on a trial basis. If you like the work, I could provide the content for 4 guides per month at $500 each.

The minimum bid listed is $17,500 but obviously under the aforementioned conditions, that would cover over many guides. I have attached samples of my work that has been published on EuropeUpClose.com.

Thank you for your consideration,
Katie

Bidder Comments : As an experienced book writer, eBook writer, guide writer and vacations specialist I would like to submit my bid for your on-going travel guides work. I have the skills and experience needed in graphics, photos, layout, formatting, TOC generating, creating an index, as well as including the copywrite, bibliography and front cover for each (unique) travel guide. I will clear my schedule by March 1st, and dedicate myself 100% to your project, and will not take on any other work, because keeping your schedule and expectations will my only goals. I have traveled the world, from Saudi Arabia, to Pakistan, the East coast of Africa, Europe, and Scotland, and have some extreme experiences that will help me write your travel guides. I have met King Hussein (of Jordan) before his son took over, the Sheik of Bahrain (in the Persian Gulf), up and down the Red Sea, and Indian Ocean as far East as Pakistan. I met the Queen of England as well as the Queen MUM, sponsored by the USN. I wrote dozens of articles on the various ports of call in the Indian Ocean. I have been a professional copywriter, copyeditor and author for over ten years and earned my degree in English, with an engineering background. If you have any questions, please contact me via the Elance PMB at your convenience. I will forward samples of my writing via the Elance PMB. My bid is for four Travel Guides per month for 12 months. I am looking forward to the possibility of working with you, using pictures and photos with no royalties and signing on for a year.
Sincerely,
Stanley Carr

Bidder Comments : Hello-You need a writer with two distinct qualifications: they have actually published books and they have travel and travel writing expertise. I have both of these qualifications. Not only have I just had one of my books picked up by a major travel publisher, but I have also published two books with my own publishing company. In addition, I spend all of my time traveling full-time across the United States in a motorhome. I understand deadlines and how to professionally format books. Lastly, I have top notch English and grammar skills as a native Englich speaker, born and raised in the United States. I have placed the minimum bid for the total project, but my bid per travel guide is $500. I would love to speak in the phone to discuss your needs further. Please don't hesitate to email me if you should have further questions. I will send a sample via PMB. Thank you. Julee Meltzer, great_writer

Bidder Comments : My husband and I traveled for Y-Visionary (Victorian Homes) as well as several other national magazines and photographed homes and places. We have an extensive library of travel pieces. I have attached two for your review. He is an accomplished photographer and I am an excellent writer.
I would be able to do these travel books for you in your time frame, while adding a delightful flair to each book, enticing the reader to step inside the pages and experience the thrill of travel. I have published 15 children's books, plus 53 total books in the last 5 years under my publishing company, Journey Stone Creations. You can view our books at www.jscbooks.com

Bidder Comments : Hi, I am interested in your project. I am a published book author and have also written hundreds of ebooks, as well as self-published a book. I have written thousands of travel articles on destinations around the world. Over the past year I have worked with a prominent hotel reservation website in which we provided travel content to thousands of travel websites. Through this program I had the pleasure of working with travel websites from around the world providing them with quality articles for their sites. There is nothing I appreciate more than a long term relationship.

Please feel free to browse my portfolio as well as my website at www.wordsyouwant.com. I am also attaching a couple of ebooks for your review that have different degrees of formatting in them. I am also capable of producing 3D ebook covers.

Travel is my passion and I have forged several great and rewarding relationships with webmasters in many different countries.

My bid is for the minimum of $17,600 for 40 - 30 page books including formatting, photos, TOC, Index, Copyright, Bio and Bibliography. I would also be willing to provide free 3D ebook covers for these books.

If you decide to select me for this project, I would be happy to do one book for you to try my services and I'd be happy to do an invite only project, as we would not be able to do only one book in this project due to the minimum bid.

Although I am bidding the time frame for 2 per week, I am capable of doing 4 per week once we get them exactly how we want them.

Thank you,
Valerie Mellema

Bidder Comments : “The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson

Hello!

From an early age, I spent countless hours daydreaming about traveling to all corners of the world: From walking alongside the River Thames to staring at an Eiffel Tower awash in moonlight.

My first trip abroad as a 16-year-old high school sophomore sparked a lifelong passion. Since that whirlwind trip to the UK and Europe, I've lived in London and Toronto and have traveled in Europe, Ireland, Wales, and throughout the United States, all in a quest to experience life in other parts of the world and of the country.

Thank you for reviewing my proposal!

Like travel, writing is a lifelong passion I parlayed into a successful freelance career. In addition to more than a decade of professional writing experience, I'm a trained journalist, a full-time freelance writer, and a published author of two business books. I've also ghostwritten and written dozens of travel articles and several travel guides as well as ebooks on a wealth of different topics. A travel guide is uploaded for your review and more samples are available upon request.

When you work with me, you can expect:

*A high level of professionalism. I'm a full-time writer committed to your success, and I will make your project my number one priority.

*High quality work & ease of communication.

*All work will be completed by me, a native English speaker and professional writer who earned a B.A. on a full writing scholarship.

*Adherence to all deadlines. You tell me the deadline, and I will meet it.

*Someone who is easy to work with and who is open to criticism.

My bid is $500 per travel guide and includes research, writing, formatting, TOC, index, bio, bibliography, cover, graphics, and photos.

Thank you for your time and your consideration! I hope to speak with you.

Sincerely,

Beth Williams

I can begin immediately and will provide you with excellence. I handle 4 guide books per month, including research, writing, layout and design, graphics creation, photos acquisition, formatting, revisions and a cover.

Bidder Comments : Hello WrittenandEditedWords,

You require sharp, well-researched, informative material for e-books with an ability to catch the attention of visitors to related websites; and also to make them visit again in search of reliable information. This is my area of specialization. I can create content, which will bring piercing focus to the products and services.

I have done extensive travel related work of various kinds. As samples of my writing, I have attached two articles from a serial article project on Travel to Orlando, one is with the focus on Dinner Theaters in Orlando and other on renovations in Walt Disney World, Orlando. I have also attached a research paper on South Africa, with the focus on information for business travelers. This you may see for illustrations and bibliography.

I have a team of writers from various streams who can provide consistent and dedicated work on your project. I also have an in-house graphic designer. I am launching my own company soon and have attached some logos done by my designer, for designing samples. So, layouts for your project can also be handled easily.

I've had long-term associations on Elance and look forward for more.

Some information about my background - I have vast experience as a researcher, editor, journalist, copywriter and scriptwriter in diverse media right from print to ads to films to the Internet. Along with the diversity in media, I have also had the opportunity to work on varied subjects.

There are diverse examples of my professional writings but citing them all shall take much space. Please see my portfolio.

However, since my aspirations for creative expression are also for personal accomplishment, you may like to view some samples of my personal and published writings on
www.writesight.com/writers/neenadayal/

My bid is for 4 e-books/month for a year. That’s for an initial introduction. Now, let’s take it one step forward.

Best Regards,
Neena Dayal
