Description:

    RAC Writing Addendums:
    • All English writing-related deliverables MUST be of grammatical, structural and logical quality commensurate with written English in a professional journal (unless otherwise stated by the Buyer). If you are a non-native English speaker you are HIGHLY CAUTIONED against bidding if you are less than 100% certain that you can provide this level of deliverables.
       
      • However, if the Buyer accepts your bid based on a sample of your work that falls beneath (or above) this level, then they are indicating that quality of your sample is the acceptable level of quality in this contract. 
         
    • In general, all deliverables MUST be completely your own original work and may not be taken (in whole or in part) from any work that you do not have full copyrights to (unless otherwise stated by the Buyer).
       
      • If the buyer agrees to allow you to quote material from other sources, you must surround that material with quotes and cite the source with enough detail so it can be verified.
      • The buyer may agree to allow you to paraphrase material from other sources. This is legal when the work is considered "Fair Use" (which generally means it will NOT be used commercially and ONLY for educational purposes). When this is the case, you must follow generally accepted standards for paraphrasing.  Merely rearranging words and phrases from another source is considered plagiarism and is illegal.  To correctly paraphrase, you should read the original and then close the book/source so you cannot see it and then write the entire material from scratch using your own words. On the other hand, if you may know or suspect the work may not be "Fair Use", please inform or consult with Rent a Coder.
         
    • If you infringe any copyright you will forfeit all escrowed funds under the terms of ""fraud"" in your contract and may have your account suspended. DO NOT BID ON THIS PROJECT, unless you fully understand United States copyright law and it's ramifications to you.

       

This is a writing project that involves writing a short EBook. The main body of the book is made up of case studies of 8 survivors of Leukemia .There will also be an introductory chapter and a list of commonly asked questions about Leukemia broken down into chapters 2 and 3.

I will give you an outline of the information I want in the introduction. I will also give you the commonly asked questions and bullet points i want covered for chapters 2 and 3.

I will also give you an outline of what I would like covered for each case study. I have tried to be as specific as possible in my outline about the exact information i want in the book. You will need to find and interview Leukemia survivors and ask them the specific questions. It is important that the people you case study used a range of different treatments, e.g. surgical, herbal, dietary, natural holistic and other alternative methods. I imagine that each case study will be about 2,500 words.

With a bit if digging you'll find lots of information available on medical web-sites that can be pulled together. You'll also find contact details for people who have survived Leukemia. Please ensure that in using content from other websites that you are not simply copying and pasting. Please do not infringe copyright.

The writing style should be conversational and engaging. I don't want the book full of medical jargon. It needs to be easy to read and inspirational, as it will be used by people who have recently been told they have Leukemia.

I would like the book written in MS Word using Arial 12 point Font.

I'll take care of final edits and proof reading although correct grammar should be used and ideally there should be few spelling mistakes if any.

There are many more of these types of projects on the horizon. .
