Freelance Tips - by Jenn Hollowell

Would You Like to Be Quoted in My Book?

September 14th 2008 18:21

I'm writing The WonderDads Handbook for Raising a Girl Ages 0-10: A Month-by-Month Look at What to Expect, Developmental Tips, and Ideas For Activities. This book is going to be broken down into years, and then further broken down into months (bite-sized bits easily ingested by fly-by reader dads).

Here's what I'm looking for:

1: One or two sentences about your 0-10 year old daughter. Example for a three month old, "My daughter did not transition well from bassinet to crib until we started playing a CD with ocean sounds." That sort of thing.
2: A one or two paragraph "this is what I experienced with my [insert age] daughter during this [insert event, activity, or milestone]" type of description that I can pull quotes or other reference material from.

This book is a guide for dads, but it doesn't necessarily have to be quoted by dads or first-person stories from dads. It's meant to serve as a go-to guide when things come up that confuse, frustrate, or perplex dads while raising their daughters alone, or with a co-parent. Don’t get me wrong, though, if you’re a dad and want to contribute please do so!

Also, if you’re a daughter and would like to share some thoughts and memories (or advice) about your dad I would love to hear from you!

The publisher would like to see this completed (a finished product) in time for Christmas sales, so if you want to participate please send in your responses as soon as possible. You can reply directly to me at writerjennh [at] aol [dot] com. Please be sure to use “Dads book” or something similar to that in the subject line so my SPAM filter doesn’t eat it by mistake.


Anyone game?
