About the project

I'm looking for some to write a book for me .The book is based on my experience and knowledge I have gained over the years about how to start and run a succesful cafe. It covers every topic challenge you will come accross when taking on this challenge and how to over come the challenges.

The format I would like this book to based on is along the lines of such books as Think and grow rich by napollean hill and rich dad poor dad by robert kowasaki.

Its a kind of self help book almost like a bible that can be used to start your own cafe /business.

It has to be easy reading type of NLP format.

    Hi there,

    I am a freelance copywriter based in Newtown, NSW with Masters in Creative Writing and my own, fulltime copywriting business - and I would be interested in speaking with you further about your book as it sounds like a great idea. I currently freelance for a number of websites as well as two major copywriting/marketing agencies, for whom I have written some short ebooks and eguides.

    It's difficult to quote without nutting out the specifics (I generally work for about $60/hr as per the above), but perhaps let me know via Ozlance if you'd like to get together and chat? We can treat it as a "meet n greet" to work out ideas, project hours/timeframe, and then you can make the final decision after we've met as to whether you'd like me to work with you.

    Some thoughts from my end: In terms of structure, style and length, the first thing to do would be to get an idea of your thoughts, experiences, passions and beliefs when it comes to running a business/cafe. It would also be great to discuss with you what kind of angle you would like to take - I think the book could work as a culmination of your own personal story as a cafe owner, together with your specific cafe ideas, challenges and advice for readers, which all feeds into the highs and lows of running a business. We can then assess your ideas and look at how to break down your narrative into chapters that will work for the reader and the overall goal of the book - while still being an entertaining read!

    Best wishes and look forward to your response!

    Natalie.

    Exactly what would you want? As in do you just want someone to write it for you, but you will have the outline and experiences so someone just needs to craft it well? Are you going to pitch it to publishers or are you aiming to self publish? Do you have any budget in mind at all? Thanks.

      I need the writer to interview me and obatain as much information possible based on my experince and knowledge I have gained.Putting things into words is not my strong point. I need someone with experience to help me achive this the best way possible. I'm then planning on pitching it to publishers and or putting it as an e book or App to be downloaded on youtunes

    Hi there,

    By NLP do you mean Neuro-linguistic programming?

    Regards,

    What is your time frame for completion of this project? roughly how long would you like it to take between interview and final product? and how many hours of interviews do you think it would take to record your experiences? I can't quote without some basic details. So, too, i'd be interested if you have a rough sense of how long you'd like it to be, 200 pages? 150?

      My time frame would be a few months, i guess until i'm happy with it. hours of interview i guess depends on the connection i get with the writer, if the writer can quickly see what i'm trying to achive then the interview hours would be less. pages again not too sure al depends on how the writer gets the point across. Im thinking between 150 and 200 or so. Im not very experienced in this area which is why I need someone who is to work with me so that together with my information and experience we can achive the best possible result.I have an idea of the type of book and style of writting I would like the book , I just dont have the knowledge to put it together the best possible way.
