LOOKING FOR AN EDITOR AND DESIGNER FOR BOOK COVER!

The 'Tell me a story - project' is soon finished and being published. There are just a few more stories left to illustrate but after that I can take the next step; to compile all the wonderful stories and illustrations and end up with a book.

Now, to make this book a good one I will need some help from a few people as I am of course not able to do everything by myself to the highest standards: English is not my first language and if I would design the cover as well that would be a bit of an 'overkill'. As this project is more a work of love then meant to net me a lot of profit I won't be able to pay the regular salaries but.....

Thus there are two kinds of people I am looking for:

- Designer for Book Cover:

You will design a stunning looking front/back cover for the book. You are free to use your own creativity, but the design must include illustrations or fragments of the illustrations I made for the book. The whole should of course connect to the folklore theme somehow. I do not have a clue what it should be yet so surprise me with your ideas and creativity! Anyone who thinks he can do the job is free to react on this call.

Payment: 110 EURO/ 150 USD(approx)
Please note: Payments outside Europe can only be made through Paypal!
Next to this the name of the designer will be mentioned in the book (and won't it look great on your resume!).

If you are interested, please send me a private message. Please include a link to your portfolio or send some of your best work and tell me about your ideas for the book cover.


- An English Language Editor:

Your job would be to read the manuscript of the book and correct wrong spelling and incorrect grammar.
Of course your English must be PERFECT. It does not have to be your first language nor do you have to be a graduated English student, but you must have enough experience with the English language to clean up the text.
Preferable I am looking for someone who has some experience in editing/writing texts, this is not mandatory however.

Payment: 180 EURO / 240 USD(approx)
Please note: Payments outside Europe can only be made through Paypal!
Next to this the name of the editor will be mentioned in the book (and won't it look great on your resume!).

If you are interested, please send me a private message and we will talk about it in more depth. Please, also state if you have any experience with this kind of work and if so what kind of work it is you have done.

You can find my email address at the top of this page on your left :-)

Right now I am keeping all options open, so tell me what you think and would like to do and I will contact you as soon as possible.
