$30-250 CAD

Paid on delivery
I need a back book cover blurb done for my current children's book. Ability to be concise while at the same time retaining humor and generating a blurb that grabs the audience is a must Prior Children's book experience preferred but not a must if the right skills are present. A short 2-3 sentence sample blurb will be requested based on a two paragraph sample which I will supply to prospective freelancers prior to awarding unless you have sample of your style available

Hi This sounds like you need a synopsis of the content and some engaging words to encourage the reader to believe in the content of the book. For an unknown writer, people will be drawn by the title of a book, then the graphics, and then they will read the back cover to find out what the story or content is about. It appears your book is light-hearted in nature and while you want peole to buy it, you don't want to promote it as the next Pulitzer prize-winning content. For this type of project I fond that Once you see somethig written you can then work out what you want to see, but staring at a blank poece of paper and coming up with inspration is hard. Consequently I find what I write can need editing twice before it says what feels right to the client, so it is very much a collaborative effort. You will find me fun to work with and easy to get hold of, so I hope that together we could produce some great copy. I won't bore you to death with all my scores for English exams and reviews as hopefully they speak for themself. Kind Regards David

I would not say I'm the best, since there are many skilled writers here, but what certainly makes me better than the next is a definite command over vocabulary, fluency and lucidity in expression and adaptability, since I can write long, connected sentences or short, simple ones as required or according to requirement. More than anything else, I'm fervently looking for writing-work, so combine my language skills with a heavy dose of sincerity and commitment, and you have an excellent choice at your disposal. Looking forward to your positive response. Regards Tanveer

Hi, my name is Sadaf. I am very creative when it comes to poetry writing and children's stories. I've included a sample where a girl goes in search of the letters in her name. As the space here is limited I've included only two small rhymes. I have written children's story as well and will send you if you require. Also if you want to provide me a sample, I'd be glad to write it. Please consider my proposal. Thank you B-BEE “I need your help Mr. Bee Would you come down from that tree?” “I have a lot of work to do I’m making honey, can’t listen to you.” “Just one moment, please do stop Pretty please with a cherry on top” The yellow bee came down with a buzz “So tell me now what’s the fuss? I don’t have time to play this game Look very hard, you will find your name” It shook its head and fell the letter B And away buzzed the busy bee Y-YAK Up high along the snowy mountain range Was a yak-all fuzzy and strange “Yo hold it young lady”it said with a cough “Don’t ya think y’are way far off I’ll tell ya this isn't a place to roam Run along now, go back home” The girl bowed to the old yak “Without my name I can’t go back” “Take this Y and do as you are told Scoot before ya catch a cold”

Dear Client, My name is Lucian and if you are looking for a professional and creative copywriter, I'm the right guy. Until now, I wrote advertising scripts, landing pages, web content, interactive children's stories, screenplays for short animation movies, scripts for an IT company, motivational speeches, ebooks and many others. I also worked with the comedian Megan Grano in her role as Glenda Beckk. I've attached a short portfolio to this cover letter. I use Final Draft or Celtx for editing but I also had and can write scripts in simple Word. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you about this opportunity. Best regards, Amo. Lucian

As a teacher and former editor, I have the perfect combination of experience for this project. I've worked with middle school and younger students for the past 10 years and am uniquely familiar with their interests and senses of humor. When employed as an editor, I worked at a children's nonfiction publishing house, completing all aspects of book production, including captions and cover blurbs. I'm confident I could quickly and effectively complete the project to your satisfaction given my background and skills. Feel free to contact me with any further questions or idea. Thanks! --Alexis

I taught myself to read with some phonics books my mom gave me as a kid. I've been devouring literature ever since, now write copy for a living, and for myself in my own time. I'm new to this site, so I don't know if I can provide exactly what you're looking for in the blurb, but I'd love to get a chance to try the sample paragraph. Thank you! -Marissa
