JOB OVERVIEW

I need a person who can research and write an eBook from the table of contents below.

The research should be on the order of 75 to 100 pages long and the resulting eBook should be at least 75 pages up to 150 pages or so in length.

The final product should be well-written and typo-free.

Any and all references that were taken verbatim or near-verbatim must be shown. I will be checking references. Plagarism is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

Not every sub-heading in every chapter needs to be covered, but a majority of the sub-headings should be covered at least to some extent.

Ultimately, our customers are going to be guided to our Amazon and website e-commerce site in order to buy our LED grow lights. For this reason, the book should very much feature the benefits and use of LED grow lights and downplay, when possible, the use of other types of lights. LED lights are the wave of the future, and this should be stressed when possible.

Here is a suggested table of contents:
