Edit and re-write of book on dogs and autism

I have written a book under contract on the subject of dog problem behavior solving and how to understand dogs on a level of depth that is unlike most dog training and behavior books. I have Asperger's syndrome and utilize my unique way of viewing the world to help owners understand their pets. I have written the manuscript in full. However, my publisher and I want to better integrate the relationship between being on the autism spectrum and what I do with dogs to give true insight to a dog's reality (especially in the context of problem behaviors). This new direction the book needs to go in will require some rewriting to integrate it into the existing manuscript. My biggest problem is that I can articulate all the abstract concepts I teach naturally when I am working with actual dogs. It just comes naturally when in front of dogs and their owners. But when I sit in front of the computer, it is hard to convey the same message that needs to be taught to the reader to help them understand and train their dogs. The book has most of its content and isnt necessarily a full book wirte or ghost write situation. I simply need someone to do all the necessary re-writing, and translation of my thoughts integrated into existing manuscript to create a more reader friendly dog-book that also explores the world of autism and how it relates to what I do and how it can help humans understand animals. (think Temple Grandin meets The dog whisperer!) I have audio, video, articles, social media posts and can explain what I do for days to someone who can listen to my words and translate them into what is needed for an amazing book! Need to hire someone who gets where Im coming from and has experience working with those on the spectrum and animals. No exceptions please... My book contract is with a prominent publisher who has been more than patient with me. Unfortunately, project has been 2 yrs overdue so need someone who is capable of going all out until complete and sees the opportunity putting their heart and soul into this project.

Hi, I have written many self-help books and I understand the concept. It's like "been there written that." I also understand the compassion of an autistic child towards a dog, canine assistance for the autistic, and how a dog can nuzzle a child. All in all, I believe I can do justice to this project and help you get your book published - your dream, which has come to a standstill since the last 2 years. Please see pmb for details. Thanks

Hello, My name is Rachel H and I would like to be your rewriter and editor for your book on dogs and autism. I have been a professional full-time writer and editor for over 4 years for businesses and individuals around the United States. I can relate to your experiences with dogs as I have two service dogs myself who warn me when I'm about to have a seizure, so I can definitely relate to you and how dogs affect humans in extraordinary ways. I have edited and rewritten academic curriculum's, eBooks, and legal manuals for several of my clients over the years, who were very satisfied with my rewriting and editing skills, not to mention my turnaround times. I am flexible in times for an interview, so whenever you're available to chat is good with me. I can start working for you immediately, and would like to know more details about your book, (e.g. how many pages is it, how many additional pages are you looking to add, etc). I attached a sample of my rewriting and editing skills that I did for a medical institute recently, who was very satisfied with my work. I am excellent at picking out grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and punctuation mistakes, and have an uncanny ability to rewrite sentences so they make sense and flow well with the rest of the document. Please let me know if you have any questions, and if you would like to chat with me, I can give you my Skype ID. I'm always online so I'll respond back to you right away. Sincerely, Rachel H.

Hi, I'm a psychologist & well published author -- HarperCollins, Wiley, Macmillan. My specialty is sensory processing disorder & I have a book published on sensory defensiveness. I'm quite familiar with Temple Grandin and her work and believe I have good insight into the mind of someone on the spectrum. I also know what's involved in getting a book ready for publication with a major publisher as I have 4 published books.

I have written and self-published three books all with dogs as central characters. The first was a non-fiction based on helping my big dog overcome abuse, the other two fictions. I have written and sold several articles on Helium regarding dog training and emotional issues in both dogs and people.
