I need an introduction to alternative health written with a
heavy primary emphasis on nutrition, and touching briefly on
most other popular alternative healing modalities. The work
should be directed at the lay person with who no has prior
knowledge of alternative health or nutrition. It should be
easily readable by someone with mediocre to average reading
skills in 3~4 hours time. The work must be original and
unencumbered by pre-existing copyright, with references cited.
It's ok if you use something you have written previously or
parts of something you have written previously as a template.
You may retain your rites to that work, but I do need
exclusive authority from the author to use this edition of
this work in commerce. TIME IS A MAJOR ISSUE HERE. This first
edition must be completed as quickly as possible and on time
as scheduled more than it needs to be nurtured and tweaked to
perfection. Future refinement for additional fees may be
requested. A writing background in alternative health and/or
nutrition would be helpful here. Hopefully I have provided you
with enough criteria for an initial cost proposal and
timeframe for completion. Please do contact me to discuss the
project further as needed. For your peace of mind, we will
come to written agreement encompassing work description,
price, deposit and payment schedule, and completion date, to
be filed with escrow.com with initial deposit and final
payment upon completion. I will pay all escrow fees incurred.
It would be preferable to direct further correspondence
directly to me at m567@iowatelecom.net rather than through
this thread. If interested, the possibility exists for future
ongoinging projects. But time is an issue on this one.

Best wishes,

Mike Placentra.

7000 or 8000 words written for persons functioning at the
sixth or seventh grade level. Gag. The book market is glutted
with such booklets. May I suggest lots of pictures and
graphs:-) I think any number of the posters to
sci.life-extension could do the job. Personally, I dislike
writing for the masses. What I find is that even supposedly
advanced works on nutrition are so dumbed down as to be
offensive.

Is the booklet being used by company marketing a product or is
it part of some program?

I'd hope so. Being an author is often a way to work for less
than the minimum wage.
