Author Needed

I received the following by email. If you are able to help, please contact me via PM.

 

Dear AnglersNet.,

 

 

We are a children's educational book packager and are currently working on a sports series called "How to To Improve At".

I am desperately trying to find an author for our book on Fishing and was hoping you may be able to recommend someone who may be interested in writing this book for us.

 

 

The “How to Improve At” series is aimed at 8 to 10 year-olds (more towards 10yrs), who already know the basics and are looking to learn more, so the content of these titles cannot be too simplistic.

 

 

This title is designed to be an exciting guide to improving Fishing skills. It covers a wide range of connected issues such as diet and exercise, but with the emphasis firmly on getting involved in the practical side of sport.

Format – 48pp, divided into 22 spreads, with approx. 300-350 words of main/caption text per spread.

Total words approx.10,000

60% of the book would be on coarse/river fishing, 20% on fly fishing and 20% on sea fishing.

 

 

I hope you are able to help, as I need to find an author a.s.a.p.

 

Thanks for your time,

Rachel

I would love to write an "all round" instructional book but just dont have the writting skills! There are plenty on here who have both the writing skills and the knowledge though.

I would like to think that I have the writing skills, but I dont think my angling knowledge is quite good enough to write a book!

Plus, I may be able to cope with the Course Fishing part but my knowledge of Fly Fishing consists of about nothing, and Sea Fishing is just totally unknown to me.

I hate to be such a disagreeable and pedantic sod, but there are so many errors in the spelling, punctuation, syntax and composition of your post that I should strongly recommend a serious reappraisal of your confidence in your writing skills. Sorry about that.

To be honest, you are being a pedantic sod! This is an internet forum, I wrote that in about a minute, not checking it for errors or mistakes, obviously if I was goin to write a book (which im not) I would check it several times!

Quite right- I was being particularly obnoxious. I'm sorry for the offense, but it's one of my bugbears!

Apology accepted Anyway, do you want me to write this book? hahaha Joke!
