Hello! This project is a self-help/personal development book that is structured using the words of who is currently the most-discussed and beloved athlete in the world—Conor McGregor. I have spent hundreds of hours combing his thousands of interviews and compiling his words into the various self-help topics he embodies and has used to climb to the top of the sports world. Some of those topics, and the chapters of the book, are: 1. Dispelling the myth of talent as the primary determinant of success (covered in books like Talent is Overrated, The Talent Code, Bounce, and most recently Peak by psychologist Anders Ericsson—notable because the first three books cite his research) 2. How to deal with failure and adversity as told through the lens of psychologist Carol Dweck and her concept of the Growth Mindset (covered in her book Mindset: The New Psychology for Success and a perfect analog to Conor McGregor’s coaches book Win or Learn) 3. How to get good at almost anything using purposeful practice (covered in Peak by Anders Ericsson) 4. The concept of flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi 5. Many others, including happiness, gratitude, discipline, who you surround yourself with, finding your passion, etc Being a Conor McGregor expert is not a requirement, but the ability to assist me in distilling concepts like those above into extremely readable prose would be. For more information on Conor, and to get a glimpse at why the world loves him and how inspiring he can be, I recommend this documentary, which was made in the lead up to his second UFC fight (before he achieved any kind of significant fame) [login to view URL] What I’m looking for and where I’m at: I am on a quest to find the perfect editor/collaborator to work with on a project that is many hundreds of hours of research and roughly 30,000 words in (some more polished than others). I have a degree in writing, but this will be my first publication. Although there are certain sections that I’m fairly happy with, after three months of nonstop work, I've realized that my unwavering excitement for the project, my will to make the book as great as it can be, and my assessment of its potential success all outpace my current level of writing craft. I have an extensive and long marketing campaign planned that will itself require hundreds of hours of work. Before I take on that endeavor, I want the book to be as good as it can possibly be. I anticipate identifying the right person by way of a combination of reading their work and them showing a unique insight into some aspect of this particular project. I’m not sure what form that insight will take, but I’ve recognized that I lack certain structural instincts that I am supposing someone who has been doing this for many years would have acquired. I’ve attached the beginnings of several chapters to this posting. I’m happy to answer any questions before you take the time to browse through them. I’m also happy to send more of the work as it stands, so that you can better assess your ability to add your strengths to this project. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Toby

Hello Matthew kindly brought your project to my attention and I was interested to see that you feel Conor McGregor is the most loved athlete at the moment. At #25 in the ESPN most popular sportsmen this year and #37 last year, I think there are a few who might challenge you on that point. From a personal point of view, I am more inclined to side with you, but only because of the nature of his sport, his physical prowess and yes, as you have clearly identified, his mental strength. It is difficult to put him in a similar class to football (soccer) players or basketball players when you consider the personal belief you need to have to step inside a UFC cage! I was happy with the outcome of the Mayweather fight as I felt McGregor could walk away with pride and reputation not just intact, but enhanced, yet the sport of boxing had not been mugged - I am a bit of a traditionalist and view 'interlopers' with a certain level of suspicion and like certain boundaries between certain sports. I read the four pages you kindly attached and it was a delight to see a writer actually back up their words with the truth - it was evident you are a skilled writer, and not just from the lack of errors in the text. I would welcome the opportunity of discussing the possibility of working with you from the point of view of an editor to help with structure and clarification of points to be made - however my frank comments above may have automatically excluded me! Kind Regards David Dundas

hi mark h here, photo is real, i've actually had experience as a muay thai fighter, 10 fights, poor record though, 2w 1d 7 l, but never got hurt, i was more of a promoter, anyway, long story, i can help at a very cheap rate, for example, i can cover editing and proofreading for $10 per 1500 words, there are limitations with my help however, i can't include any formatting or design work, there are lots of people on freelancer who do that, very cheap such as $10 for a whole novel, so i'd recommend going with them, if you need someone who can best word for audience and purpose then i believe i have a better knowledge of the scene, and theoretical concepts of success, leadership than the others here

Hello Toby, My name is Zack Khan, and I am a professional writer and editor (Top rated freelancer). I have helped several authors (new and experienced) with their DIY books, rendering them coherent to the author's vision,. I have read the document attached with your brief. A critique would be subjective at this point but here are a few points. (I make notations and comments in the margins on every page using Word’s Track Changes; this however, is a general opinion) 1. The first page should have 3 paragraphs, starting with a third person tone (as if narrating) describing the daily routine, home gym and the attitude needed to WIN. It should be motivational, facts should be verified. At this point, the chapter validates the opposite--that Conner is a natural talent and not a hard working individual because you have relied on his "quotes", to be more precise, his "actions", following his quotes. Your readers may want to know the "human being "behind the invincible persona. 2. Use quotes to a minimum and rely more on story telling 3. Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset have a vast scope. The four pages that I have read, do not conform with those concepts because evidence is not shown. Conner obviously knew that he had to develop his skills to be the best, so the question arises: what weaknesses did he discover and how did he cope with it psychologically? Can you please tell me more about the scope of this chapter? Feel free to comment or ask any questions. Best, Zack.

Playing with words is a source of endless fascination for me; I spend hours ruthlessly culling them from sentences like an expert hitman, unleashing my imagination to create a kaleidoscope of images on a blank page and everything in between. If you’re looking for someone, who can get inside the head of your customer and figure out how to engage with them, inform them, entice them to buy and keep them coming back to you… Sample- https://www.freelancer.com/community/articles/top-five-important-strategies-for-effective-blogging

Excellent writing skills and creative imagination from years of writing, assisting article writing, editing academic work and short story writing. Very good sense of humor that is necessary for content writing. I believe in excellence. Writing isn't about just putting words on paper, it's about expressing ideas. Like any art, the writer has only been successful if the reader sees what he sees, hears what he hears, and feels what he feels.
