Searching for a creative and talented ghost writer to bring a fictional story to life. This book will be used in promoting dementia prevention through ballroom dance. Although we want this real-life theme to be central to the book, the story should be carried by the emotions of this family drama, the beauty of dance, following your dreams, ect. If you are interested in learning more please submit a bid and we will provide further detail and ask you to complete a brief writing assignment to get a sense for your writing style. Book overview: A Dance to Remember is the story of Hilary’s fight for her family, her passion for dance and the power of community in taking action against Alzheimer’s. After witnessing her father’s decline due to Alzheimer’s, Hilary is determined not to just sit back and let it destroy her family. In her search for answers she pursues her passion while overcoming personal obstacles and following the unexpected directions that her journey takes.

Hi, I'm not actually bidding on this project - it's, unfortunately, too big for me right now. I just wanted to connect because you're writing right up my alley of interest and some expertise. I've been a tango dancer and therapist for a long time and have researched this area (in relation to tango). I've written about it a bit but I love what you're doing by fictionalizing it. I would be very happy to edit the story once it's finished - or to be a resource if I can. Although I'm moving away a bit from tango and writing on this website of mine - I invite you to look at SpeakingTango . com and please do keep in touch - if I can offer any small amounts of help I will try and I really regret not being able to take on this full project. Best of luck with it and Happy Tangoing!

Experienced fiction ghostwriter and published author of over 60 novels, novellas and short stories. My strength is taking a basic synopsis or even just a rough story idea and building it into a compelling, full-length piece of fiction full of character development and emotional impact. I invite you to look at my profile to see mor about my work. Not all my ghostwriting has been posted there yet because there are projects still in production but I am happy to tell you about them so you can get a feel for my experience and style. I am a stong communicator and keep my clients updatd daily in my progress. Firat I will take whatever materials you give me and feel my way into the story, making notes and outlines, and doing what er research needs to be done until I can begin to write the body of the narrative. From there, I continue, chapter by chapter until the first draft is done. I will clean up the first and deliver it to you. After that, yu can have your editor go through it and then I will attend to the editor's comments until there is a tight, clean draft that then can be forwarded into the production phase. I look forward to speaking with you about your project! Thanks for your consideration. Warmly, Sedonia

Good day I read your manuscript overview and I find it fascinating! I'd love to write your book for you. I'm a qualified and experienced editor and author. During the day, I work at a literacy franchise, developing a curriculum for English as a Home Language for South African students. In the evenings, at night and all weekend, I do freelance writing. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major, in Linguistics and in Education. A few years after that, I went back to university full time to study Speech Therapy, but had to stop at the beginning of my fourth and final year due to personal reasons. However, during my Speech Therapy studies I majored in Psychology, and also did Neuroanatomy up to third year level, as well as Neurogenic Cognitive Disorders. In a nutshell, when it comes to having knowledge of diseases where the brain is concerned, I'm your writer! On a different note, I also love music and dancing. I play five different instruments, and I used to do Latin American and Ballroom Dancing as a hobby. My husband and I actually got married two months ago, and we did the tango as our opening dance! I am very keen to help you write this book. If you like my proposal, please feel free to send me your assignment to gauge my writing style. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks and kind regards Claire Campbell

Hello - I would be very interested in working with you. I have a background in health care (and a M.S. in Health Sciences) and I'm a strong writer. The combination will bring your characters to life while still accomplishing your mission for dementia prevention.

I am a technologist, researcher, programmer, a leader, teacher, and a writer all rolled up into one. I love doing research. There's a bit of me in everything I do. Sometime it may be a little too much. I guess I get that liberty after doing things that I have done. Be it market research or writing up for the next travel hike, or digging into that new phone that I just bought, I love it. I do quite a bit of other things that which I may tell you on a personal note but then you will have to step up and come talk to me.

This concept has immense possibility, The idea of Dance, representing the transcendent aspects of life, how we use art to react to it, along with the physicality of the act itself,, opens a lot of doors. The trick is which doorways to go through. Better humorous, or with ethereal shading. Straight love story, or soap opera style weeper? Check out the examples, available as .PDF documents, in my Freelancer portfolio. I have written long-form in the past, and know how to use dramatic structure and characterization to tell an engaging story.
