Book Summary and Analysis Due in 4 Weeks

Show all Description: We are seeking to hire numerous writers to write a summary and analysis of a single book. We have an unlimited number of titles to assign to writers, but each writer will be assigned only one title to begin with. We will need this first assignment to be completed within 4 weeks. The final document will be expected to be approximately 25-45 single-spaced pages, depending upon the length and complexity of the book that is assigned. All work will need to be 100% original writing, with no sources used whatsoever.
Please carefully review the Style Guide that is attached to this project description. It contains vital information, including the formatting needed for the finalized files. Also, please note that this is a lot of work. Competent readers and writers are usually very successful with our projects and may continue to work with us indefinitely beyond this first assignment. However, if you are not efficient at reading and writing, this may be more work than it is worth. We will provide a list of titles from which you may choose for this assignment.
Payment will be $230 to each writer for each title completed. Books will not be provided and fees will not be reimbursed. ALL GUIDES WILL PAY $230 each. This is a fixed amount; you are simply making a bid that you are interested in the project. We have hundreds of guides to write, so we can handle plenty of bidders. In order to bid, bid $230. Then, as each one is completed, you may send us an invoice for $230 though the system and we will pay you for it. Please note that we offer pay increases for strong, consistent writers beginning once they have successfully submitted a few guides.
To be considered, please attach 3 writing samples and a resume to your bid. If you are unable to attach files due to the status of your membership, please simply paste your samples in the body of your bid.
Attached to this project description is the Style Guide, which includes a full length samples so you can see the formatting and writing style we require. Finally, the formatting guidelines, directions and an FAQ sheet are included within the Style Guide. Please review all of the requirements carefully before bidding on our project to determine whether this is right for you.
Length
The length of the guides should range from 25-45 pages single spaced in Word with normal margins, Times New Roman, Font size 12. Again, following the format is critical.
Once in a while, we have extremely long works like Don Quixote which might be as long as 70 pages, but that is extremely rare (less than 1 in 100). In those cases, we will pay more, and the pay will be determinded on a case by case basis (they are quite rare). “Long Books” are books over 700 pages. From 700 pages to 1,100 pages, the pay is $280. Above 1,000 pages is a special case.
Grammar, Editing, Writing Style
The writing style should easily be readable for an average high school/college student. All grammar and editing should be extremely thorough and should be done before the files are emailed to us.
It is important in writing an appropriate summary for the text to be very fluid and smooth for the reader. The text should not be fragmented in any way. In other words, if you read a novel and, as you read it, write the summary, it is likely that the text will be very choppy and will include information that is completely irrelevant to the story. In addition, this often results in many short paragraphs. It is much more appropriate to read through a chapter first and then write the summary. The result is that the text will be much more fluid and the summary will be much closer to what we are looking for.
Misc. We will be hiring many bidders.
Payment Terms
For each work completed, we will pay $230 when it is approved. All files that are received completed, with all revisions also completed, on or before the 10th of the month will be paid in full on or before the 30th of the same month. All files that are completed after the 10th of the month will be paid on or before the 30th of the following month. All payments will be made through Guru.com. Each work may need to be edited or revised by you before payment is released, and you should allow approximately 10 days for the review and revision period for each draft that you submit to us.
What Books Will I Be Writing On?
We will provide you with a list of books to choose from, but they will be very popular books available at all book stores and libraries (at least in the U.S.) It is your responsibility to find the books. We recommend the library as they almost always carry the ones we will be writing on, especially in the U.S.
Contract
