Hello,
I am writing with bona fide interest in earning the chance to work for you.
Let's get the boring stuff out of the way first: I earned a BA in English from a liberal arts college in the U.S. and have much experience in copy writing, ghost writing, article writing, press releases, books, editing and the like.
Further, I am diligent, punctual and have a keen eye for detail. I'm a perfectionist, though not perfect. Sadly, I am human. ;-)
I'd be very pleased to work on this project. It is a subject near and dear to my heart. One about which I have a fair amount of interest and experience and, so, feel very confident I would go beyond your expectations.
If I can answer any other questions, please do not hesitate ask. Otherwise, I do hope you will give thoughtful consideration to hiring me and I look forward to collaborating with you.
One last thing: as the world of publishing has so dramatically changed in the electronic age, establishing a platform and achieving a mass audience (previously the work of agents and publishers) is increasingly the responsibility of authors! Should this be the case for you and this project, I'd be pleased to discuss your go-to-market strategy. It is likely I could be of assistance to you in this regard as well.
All for now,
Vlade
