This project is for a unique style of book that involves a storyline that changes depending on choices made by the reader. The text for each of the pages has been written, but may not be properly worded for a young reader. The reading level desired is targeted to be suitable for early readers, ages 7 to 10. There is also a desire to include excitement, intrigue and adventure into the reader’s experience. In other words, take my writings and make them fun! Each of the 22 pages for the project will be carefully detailed concerning the expectations of the text. Collaborative communication between the editor and employer will involve agreement on the completion of each page and feedback for any needed revisions. Consider this typical example of a page's text, “Rowing across the water was tiring, but you are encouraged by having arrived at the small island with a moment to rest on the sandy beach. The high rising hillside cliffs in front of you suggest that you could follow the shoreline that disappears around a treacherous but passable rocky shore to the right. You notice markings in the nearby sand that appear to be footprints leading in the other direction towards what looks like a seldom used pathway entering a line of bushes and palm trees. Having regained your strength, you realize it is time to move on, but which way?” The page’s illustration shows what is described in the text, a boy kneeling in the sand in front of a steep cliff with a beach that ends in a rocky shore to the right and a tree line with a pathway to the left. The reader needs to get a sense of the feeling of being in the boy’s place and facing the decision of choosing a direction. Each of the other 21 pages will be defined by the unique scene presented to the boy (reader) with a selection of movement options illustrated. Each decision will lead the reader to a predetermined page where yet another storyline option is presented. It is most important that the text from one connecting page to another is consistent so that the reader feels as though they are “moving” through the story as it progresses. All bidders are requested to submit a sample rewriting of the page text example previously described. The intention of the sample editing is to confirm communication capabilities between the bidder and the employer. Reading and writing in English is required for this project in order to collaborate on writing details and ideas. The project will need to be completed within 10 days. Payment will be made using the Milestone Payment System. If you are interested in bidding on this project, and you think that you have the imaginative skills to improve a story that will thrill the audio senses of young children, then please submit your bid along with a PM including your suggested rewording of the sample text. Thank you for considering this project.

I would love the opportunity to edit your book. I have fond memories of reading this type of book when I was a child; I also have two children in this age range (a boy and a girl), so I am familiar with your audience. I have a BA in English and 12 years of proofreading and editing experience. I am passionate about grammar and strive to return flawless documents to each of my clients. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. The edited version follows: Rowing across the water was tiring, but you are encouraged by having arrived at the small island. You take a moment to rest on the sandy beach while deciding your next course of action. The high hillside cliffs in front of you suggest that you could follow the shoreline that disappears around a treacherous but passable rocky shore to the right. You notice markings in the nearby sand that appear to be footprints leading in the other direction towards what looks like a seldom used pathway, which is lined with bushes and palm trees. Having regained your strength, you realize it is time to move on. But which way?"

This project needs a creative mind and is the perfect platform for yours truly who has the experience of writing fiction(though not published) for years. Please check the passage below to see if the slight modifications were worthwhile. "Rowing across the water was tiring, but you are encouraged at having arrived at the small island and spare a moment to rest on the sandy beach. The high rising hillside cliffs in front of you suggest that you could follow the shoreline that disappears around a treacherous but passable rocky shore to the right. You notice markings in the nearby sand that appear to be footprints leading in the other direction towards what looks like a seldom used pathway entering a line of bushes and palm trees. They look like footprints of some small animal and having been away from good food for days the urge to follow the way is increasing by the second. Having regained your strength, you realize it is time to move on, but which way?"

I am an Australian native English speaker with children and as a proofreader and mum, I feel highly qualified to bid on this project. Please read my suggestions for your story below: "Rowing across the water was really tiring, so when you arrive at the small island you collapse for a moment on the sandy beach. As you lay on your back looking up at the sky, you notice enormous cliffs stretching right along the coastline as far as you can see. Looking along the shoreline to the right,you can see a rocky outcrop far along the beach. It looks very dangerous but you think you can see a way around through the rocks. In the other direction there is a faint trail of footprints heading off towards a small path nearly hidden between some bushes and tall palm trees. Having regained your strength, you realize it is time to move on, but which way?" My children read this type of story very often and I realise how important it is to keep the story exciting and unpredictable whilst maintaining the integrity of the story. Please consider my bid. Kind Regards, Julia

I loved these stories as a kid. Am excited to do them now, I have a 2-year old daughter that always asks for new endings to the same stories. Please find below the rewriting of the sample: "Rowing across the water was exhausting. But, now that you arrived at the small island with a lovely sandy beach, you can rest for a moment. The high rising hillside cliffs on the right suggest that you could follow the shoreline disappearing round the corner in a treacherous rocky shore with glimpsing passage through it. When you turn to the left, you notice pale footprint markings in the nearby sand that appear to be leading towards what looks like a seldom used pathway entering a line of bushes and palm trees. Having regained your strength, you realize it is time to move on, but which way?"Please consider my bid carefully.

As a parent and a teacher, I must admit that I still love children's books. Young readers, just like adults, want to experience everything that happens to the literary protagonist - see the sights, hear the sounds, feel the emotions - and every abstraction needs to be made concrete. I am used to communicating with children of this age, and I can produce clear, correct, age-appropriate language quickly. I have posted a few samples of my fiction in my portfolio, which you are of course invited to browse; but I think your own request for bidders to reword your sample paragraph is in fact the best possible test of suitability.
