Requirements:
Please bid and submit writing samples if available. You also much have a strong command of the English language.

Timeframe:
This is an immediate need. When awarded you will deliver the content in 21 days or sooner.

Future Work:
We have a constant need for courseware content. We are looking for someone that can eventually know our needs and be completely independent in coming up with ideas for courseware. If you are motivated and can write quality content on various subjects, then we can give you plenty of work.

So, we are looking for a native English speaker to author a Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician : CCENT - 640-822 ICND1 Exam Prep Guide. You will return something that we can use without readers asking, "Was this even spell-checked?"

We are looking for correct grammar.The content must be unique and in US English. Since we're not planning to give detailed instructions, we're expecting the writer to know the subject through and through and be creative and proactive.

We do several projects like this at any given time and are looking for somebody we can call on for repeat projects. We work with a variety of writers.

Again, we're looking to develop long-term relationships with content developers. If you're good, we'll hire you again and again.


We have a deadline of 21 days from when you start. If you cannot keep this deadline, please do not bid.

In total you will deliver no less than 30000 words on the subject, well researched, original and fluent English, containing correct grammar.


You will need to provide (links to) samples of the work you have done in the past with your bid.

We're looking for somebody with good communication skills, who will update us on the project and let us know if any problems arise.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for reading this and considering our project!! We appreciate you!!
