Ghost writer needed for a non-fiction book – Leadership – Upwork
I run a Done For You Publishing Company, The Books Factory.
So, I got a client who is interested in publishing a book. I'd asked him to fill out a form which can help you to understand this book idea. Below are all of his answers:
Q1. Tell us briefly about your book idea. (Around 200 – 500 words) *
A. Pearls of Wisdom or Living Life in Full Throttle (Brainstorm on the top line title)
Lessons in leadership, for making it in life and business <This is what I think the overarching theme of the book should be…
Looking back on those days in my very early years of life, there are moments I remember crystal clear. Moments that I recall when I stood in a spot and looked back on my life up to that point in life. As I sit here an put my thoughts on paper, I see now that my parents were right when they said… You can be anything you want to be. This book is for anyone that is looking for inspiration in taking those leaps of faith, entering the military, entering the workforce, changing careers to follow a passion, and staying the course.
I mentioned this under BIG Career Move:
I have approx. 15 articles I have written to draw from that I would want woven into this as key Sales and Leadership Lessons (these are on LinkedIn)
Q2. Who is the intended audience (age, sex, education, level, etc)? *
A. Number 1 target audience: Sales Reps, Sales Professionals, Sales Leaders of all ages
Number 2 target audience: College or High school graduates looking for their path in life
Anyone considering Military, Restaurant, or B2B Sales
Ages 18+ Non-gender specific, no-educational preference
Q3. What should be the ideal length of your book? *
A. 200 – 250 pages
Q4. Do you have any chapters or outline of the book in your mind? If yes, then please write it down. *
A. Introduction and Foreword (I have a couple of leaders in mind I would engage to write this for me)
[maybe not as many chapters as outlined below, and certainly not as wordy)
You can be anything, but you can't play sports
What sports taught me
Lessons in Leadership, USMC
Civilian Life, coming home, no rest for the unrested
It's Not Who you Know… It's Who Knows you… My Sales Lessons
Building a Culture of Game Changers and Master Divers – Imparting my knowledge and lessons on others
When Life takes an INSTANT TURN – the story of my son and how we got through it all
Never too comfortable to Reinvent yourself
Q5. How your book is different from other books on the same topic? *
A. My experiences, my challenges, my knowledge, my intellectual property.
Q6. Do you also want to include your personal stories/ experiences in your book? *
A. Yes, I believe the entire book will have these stories woven throughout
Q7. What are your expectations with your Angel Writer? *
Someone that can spend time working with me to channel my approaches and style into a book
Q8. How do you envision your dream book? *
A. A book that sales reps, sales managers, companies, and experts in sales will gravitate to, but equally attractive to people that want to be inspired to take the risk of doing what you love to do for a living.
……………………………………..
I believe these answers will help you understand my client's vision for this book. Now, I need your ideas which you think you can include in the book which can drastically increase the quality of the book. You can write around 200 words which can specify the flow/structure of the book, your ideas, your view on this book, and why you're the perfect fit for this book.
I will show this content which you're going to write to my client and then he can decide which one of you is the best fit for her book.
I'm looking forward to a long-term relationship with writers as we own a DFY Publishing company and we constantly look for amazing writers.
I'm waiting for your ideas,
All the best,
Vikrant Shaurya
