Hi , I am in search of a book coach who can help me with the first book. I have just started writing and it is in no flow with regard to the book. The theme of the book is campus love story happening in India. To gauge my writing kindly check my - bharatchandran.blogspot.com. - It will give you complete idea about my writing i believe. Expectations from my end : I need guidance in terms of starting with how to write a book, ending with complete proof reading and suggestions on improving my writing skills. I am planning to write chapter by chapter and get it reviewed with you? I mean rectifying the errors, learning the writing while finishing the book. As of now only few pages are done. I need someone dedicated who is interested in doing this activity. I need a person who can suggest me / push me/ get me to do things. Since I am not from the field of writing and publishing, I would request you to let me know how this works - in terms of cost, your charges, your terms and conditions, your expectations etc. 1. I am in search of a right person who can guide me, support me and hand hold me in terms of writting. 2. Objective of this project is to find the best person who can be in sync with me who can help me through chat/ mail and if required telephone. 3. Someone who is reachable when i am badly in need of help. 4. Someone who is open for a long term relation - I don't want a person who just wants to finish the work and say bye - I will definitely acknowledge in writing the person who has helped me and will look for future works. 5. If you are looking for a big money, i might not be right person - I am currently working and so I am planning to spare the money from my pocket since I am passionate about writing and try my luck in this field. - The book will not be high priced as well. 6. I would appreciate if the person has some contacts in the publishing field - not a must, but preference is definitely there for a person who can help me end to end - so that i might not need to get desperate about publishing once the book is ready. 7. The duration might be 6 months which im just assuming /believing that i will be able to write and complete it. Kindly let me know your thoughts, Regards bharat PS: A sample page of the chapter of the book I am planning to write is also attached so that you can suggest how better if can be written and let me understand your views. I have selected small project since I am not too sure how much it might require to be spend for this activity. No

I am writing to apply for the position of Book Mentor/Editor. I have a Ph.D. in Theatre Arts and Literature, with a strong emphasis in theatre history, critical theory and screen and playwriting. I am an associate professor at the College of William and Mary. During my time there, my book, Performance Analysis: an Introductory Coursebook (co-edited with Colin Counsell) was published, and has since gone into a second printing. I have published an edited copy of Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband, and am currently working on two book projects. I teach the playwriting and screenwriting strands of the undergraduate degree, and have had student work accepted at the Royal Court Theatre in London, the New York Fringe Festival and Capital Fringe in Washington, DC. I am looking for work that will take me outside of the academy and that will allow me to expand my skills. I already do a great deal of writing on various research projects for conference papers, as well as my monographs. I believe that I could bring my academic, critical eye to your work and we could form a viable partnership. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Dr Laurie J Wolf

Dear Author, I read your page and it needs a lot of work. I see where you are trying to go with this, but there are many issues to address if you want to create a marketable book. If selected for your project we will have to spend several hours over the course of your writing talking about objectives and character development. Also, audience is an imperative consideration. Many beginning authors forget that they are not writing for themselves, but for a specific genre related audience. I can help you with that. Love and romance are always stories that capture a wide audience, but they must be told in a way that keeps the reader's attention and interest. We can work on that. I have attached a copy of my own fantasy writing to give you a sense of how I write. Obviously, your story will be told in your own way and in your own "voice." I agree with you, however, that you need guidance. If choosen for your project, then I look forward to working with you as your mentor and guide over the course of your writing this book. Best Regards, Freelancer914

Greetings, and thanks for looking over my bid. I am Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Ampersand Books. Part of my job description is authorial hand-holding and guidance. We publish a literary quarterly called The Ampersand Review and, in the process, have published many a first-time author who brought us a piece that wasn't quite ready for prime-time, but with some coaching and ruthless edits, they eventually made it. The last short story collection we published involved a story that had to be rewritten seven times, and I myself have a short story that has been scrapped and started again a dozen times, at least. My own writing mentor taught me that you can't really teach someone to write well. What you can do, however, is give them the tips they need to focus and realize what they can already do. Describing something like writing is difficult - it's nebulous and often dries up into vague slogans like "show, don't tell," that don't really help anyone. In my editorial role, I've learned how to give specific advice that really helps. I have references available, should you like to see them, and samples of my own work. Feel free to inquire. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Jason Cook
