$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
Have you written books for elementary school children (approximately 5th grade), or do you feel you can do so? Well I am looking for someone, with a native English language background, to write (and possibly illustrate) a series of sequels to the Miss Rainbow series. The first book, “Miss Rainbow and the Magic Teapot,” was published electronically last year. If you are interested, I will send you a Smashwords coupon that will allow you to download a free copy. The books, 20-25 pages, approximately 5000-7,500 words. will be considered published on a Work for Hire basis and will be copyrighted by me. However, the author will receive a joint credit on the cover with me. Please bid on how much you would ask for this project, but be aware that price is a big factor here), mention "purple cow" at the beginning of your cover letter so I know you are willing to follow instructions, send me some samples of your fiction writing for children, and tell me how long it would take you. A writer who can also write the same story in English and Spanish will receive additional consideration.

I can write for you a unique sample, keeping your story line in mind, if you're interested in hiring me. Do check your PM for further details. regards, Sara

purple cow Hello Don, I am a keen writer, and though I do not yet have any published work, I think I can fulfil your brief. I have studied your requirements and I attach with this bid a synopsis and short 200-word extract of a proposed short story provisionally titled 'Miss. Rainbow and the Charmed Mirror'. This is something I produced just now, in literally 15 minutes, so it may be slightly rough around the edges, but I hope you like it. It's just a suggestion and not necessarily meant for the 'Miss. Rainbow universe', though it could be adapted for this, which is why I have posited the lead character as 'Miss. Rainbow'. I am willing to work for the bid price quoted ($160.65 converts to £100.00 currently, which I think is reasonable), payable in full on production of the first draft. I would accept this sum as a one-off fee for the first book on a work-for-hire basis, but I would also want to receive 10% royalty on any gross sales worldwide (all languages and formats) of the book above a certain minimum target. I would suggest an initial target of $1,000.00. I would also require sole credit for the story. You would be co-credited for the creation of 'Miss. Rainbow' character and for any illustrations. I am happy to keep things fairly informal at this point so that we can see how it works, and if you are happy with my work, we could then re-negotiate more formal terms for a series. I believe that is a sensible way to work. My turnaround would be 30 days per book (that is, for production of a first draft). I would of course aim to produce the work quicker for you, and so far as the first book is concerned, the Christmas/New Year holiday will help in that respect. You would be responsible for editing, illustrations and translations. If the above interests you, please contact me. Kind regards, Tom.
