Writer for Weight Loss Project Wanted

I’m representing a company in the weight loss industry looking for a skilled writer with an informal writing style who’s knowledgeable on the subject of weight loss.

What we need, to start with, is someone to write a 30-40 page report on weight loss. We will provide the table of contents including a description for each part of the report. We are in need of a lot more writing work down the line so hopefully it can lead to a long-term collaboration.

We had another freelancer write the report previously but it didn’t quite end up the way we expected. The main problem was that the writer didn’t keep our basic philosophy about weight loss in mind when writing which resulted in that the report ended up with conflicting information etc. Therefore we need you to learn and be in agreement with our opinions about weight loss before you start writing.

Attached is our current report + outline for the new version of the report (NOTE: we will work on the outline until we find a suitable writer, so this one is just to give you a picture of what we’re looking for)

We’re looking for a pretty informal, laid-back style where it almost feels like you’re “talking” to the reader.

Please let us know why you think you’re a good candidate, what knowledge you have on the subject and provide some samples of previous work (preferably on the subject of health & weight loss).
Thanks!
