Experienced Composting/Gardening Writer Needed for 'Composting in an Apartment'

I’m seeking a writer who has expertise in composting, who could comprehensively cover the basics of composting and, particularly, composting in small, indoor spaces (i.e., an urban apartment). I need someone who can start immediately. Your first language MUST be English.

You will be able to provide relevant and experienced knowledge on the subject, as well as practical advice.

At the moment I’m looking for someone to create a succinct resource on composting in an apartment. But, should opportunity lie in publishing a more comprehensive resource that covers gardening in an apartment,too, then I would be open to that. What’s next? Perhaps this would entail recipes that call for ingredients the reader has grown themselves. I digress.

The book should include the following:

- A personalized tone (you and me, one-on-one, etc.)
- Magazine headline-style teasers in the TOC without giving the book away in the TOC
- The use of keywords provided in the title, subtitle, and/or description (I’ve conducted some research on this and could provide insight if helpful).
- An introduction that excites and sells – what is the problem? What is the solution? Quantifiable and tangible solutions
- A Headline – Background – Resolution – Action Framework throughout the book
+ Headline – Why you should be reading this book
+ Background – What you will get out of reading this book (state the problem(s) the book will resolve
+ Resolution – How to conceptually solve the problem
+ Action – A step-by-step process to solve the problem (this would also include recipes)
- Providing the reader with exactly what they’re looking for (how to control the heat of compost, what type of containers to use, where to store it, etc.)
- Niche research – find out what people are saying about the subject (use resources like Amazon, Reddit, YouTube, etc.). Know your target market and what they’re asking for.(Again, I’ve done some of this research already and would hand that over to help; it’s more of a starting point.)

This position will require you to:
1. Create an Amazon Authors page
2. Write a brief descriptions for the book following the H-B-R-A framework above
3. Choosing compelling pictures for the book
4. Write the book
5. Format the book with pictures included, and an interactive TOC

To apply for this position, please respond to this job description with your past work, related experience, and an explanation on why you’d be a perfect candidate for this position. Please keep in mind that grammar, spelling, and punctuation must all be reviewed before any submissions and your edited work will be expected when submitting work to me.

I don’t want to micromanage the successful candidate so I’d like you to be able to work well on your own and use your own discretion while working.

The expected delivery time for the books will be within 3 weeks from the day you start. I’ll discuss pricing once I’ve found the right candidate. In other words, it’s negotiable - I’d like to focus on finding someone with the expertise who will deliver a best seller in this niche category.

To know that you’ve read through all of the requirements, please begin your application with the phrase, ‘Terrific terriers’. Any application without this phrase at the beginning will NOT be considered.
