Hello
I would like to be hired for this job. Since I am new on Freelancer and it is a book still on the making, I made this special bid for the whole job.
We can break down the work in installments over six months, like you said, and also the payment. First bit 40, then 5 payments of 32GBP. I would type up first 20,000 words, then the nexts would be 16,000.
