Hi. Nice project that I believe is right up my alley. I'll do it for $5 per page (text) $10 per page (text and table) and $15 per drawing (unless it has a high level of complexity - then $20). Your sample manual would be somewhere between $80-$100 through me with the above listed conditions. I think a manual like this one could be turned in 2-3 days depending on amount of new drawings needed.
Why is this job up my alley? I am a technical writer for an air products manufacturing company by day (freelancer by night). I am writing, editing, placing layout, and drawing line art on a DAILY basis (and I love my job); I work in the company's marketing department, tech. writing division. I work on a Mac platform at work and at home. I am using Illustrator (line art), Photoshop (imaging), and InDesign (a layout program). I work well with provided text in Word, and I can provide PDF files for printing.
I have experience in our company's packaging department - helped on projects when I could. I can provide packaging layouts as long as I know what your package sizing will be.
In addition, one of my previous jobs was working at a printing company, so I am familiar with the lingo and print requirements of most printing services (local and international). I do believe I am the right fit for this job, and I look forward to providing the service for you.
We can hammer out the details and specifics as soon as you want to begin.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
