Subject: The Great Haze

Dear Mr. Timmons,

Ronald Walker has recommended that I contact you regarding editing work.

We are currently looking for someone to perform. final edits on a simplified version of The Great Haze, by Seth Mirren. It consists of 112 pages including glossary, notes, illustrations, etc. The simplified version is aimed at typical 3rd-5th grade elementary school students; it has also already been partially edited.

The work will involve checking to make sure the vocabulary in the simplified version is not too difficult for the target audience, and that grammar and punctuation are correct. Usually Ronald returns the hard copy with amendments highlighted —this helps us make a final decision about each change. We would aim to mail the work out to you during the first week of August.

Please would you be able to tell me:

if you are interested in doing the work

how long you think it will take

how much you would charge to do it

Please, could you get back to me as soon as possible and let me know if it is possible for you to do the work？

Many thanks and kind regards,

Sarah Pittman
