Editing (done): need experienced eyes on IM chapter

Dapplecreek · 4th May 2012, 08:31 PM

I am writing an ebook and want someone to look over my IM chapter. At this point in my career I'm a bit like a priest giving marriage advice: I *think* I've got it right, but would like someone who has been around for awhile to look it over. This is not a gig for a newbie, but neither does it call for a guru.

The text is bullet-point-and-comment form, and for each snippet all I want is a 'yup' or a 'nope' with some notes to set me straight. Here's a sample:

Video tutorials
If you can explain how to do something, you can help others learn and get paid for it. Camstudio will capture your screen and audio to a video file. Use a headset with a good microphone. Folks who do this seem to usually use scripts and record the video carefully without worrying too much about the audio, then they go back and re-record the audio track so the whole package is professional

I expect this to take 20 min or so, and feel I ought to be able to buy your time for between ten and twenty bucks. I'm driving on fumes right now and would appreciate a gentle bid, but I do understand that I'm asking for your valuable time. The word count is 1100 or so for the key portion I'm worried about; if you find you have time to spare after going through it I have another similar-sized section which could also profit from your attention.

Please contact me at tim@heroicmoney.com with your bid. Thanks!

	I write stuff for marketers and my current clients keep me comfortably busy. But if you make me the right offer, I'll write stuff for you too.
