Looking for Author
I'm in the final proposal stages for a book aimed at female European athletes. I'm looking for an experienced author who is also an athlete.
The book is being pitched to a major publisher with a string of successful sports-themed books. This is a very interesting project, and I need to find someone who lives to write, is flexible, creative, energetic, and resides in the greater London area to be able to collaborate and have meetings.
I anticipate that the project will last for approximately three months. During this period, work will be very intense and will likely require a very large time commitment. The primary duties would be writing, researching, and fact-checking, but could be extended to other areas of the production process as the project evolves.
Please reply to Josh Abrams, 20 Stroud Green Road, London N43EH with credentials and athletic experience.

Mr. Abrams,
I think that I'm the person you're looking for on this project. Why? I am an amateur athlete, and I can write in whatever tone, style, or voice is required. 
I belong to several networking groups of female amateur athletes - a great source for contacts - and I am very familiar with the unique challenges that women in the sports world face. I have also written extensively on the topics of the Olympics and particularly, lacrosse and football. I am a rugby player and track athlete.
After graduating from high school, I decided to pursue sports more actively. I spent two years playing semi-professional women's soccer and rugby, and placing very well in track events and marathons. I traveled extensively in Europe and became familiar with the rules and organizations there.
As a writer, I have published over 500 articles in national and community newspapers. My first book, ”Running for the Finish Line,” was a Canadian best-seller. I have edited three anthologies and contributed to several other books and magazines. I’m also a meticulous copy editor.
”Energetic” and ”creative” don't begin to describe me - if you decide that I'm right for your project, you'll see what I mean.
Regards,
Hayley Weeks

”Vern in the Hills” 50th Anniversary Celebration, Bradley, MO
”Vern in the Hills” is celebrating its 50th year in production. A light-hearted production staged by the City Theater in Bradley, MO, ”Vern in the Hills” has been performed at the Thompson Outdoor Theater each summer since it first opened on May 28, 1956. Few theaters in such small cities are able to sustain a production over a course of so many years.
”Somehow we've become a classic, and part of the fabric of the community,” says artistic director David Frey, ”Going to ”Vern in the Hills” on a summer evening is just part of life here.” Mr. Frey is only the third director the production has seen in its fifty-year history. A fact that, Mr. Frey says contributes to the play's success.
”Vern in the Hills” does seem to be part of the fabric of the community. We loved the production. We observed several families with three generations having picnics and watching the play. It was clear that most people had seen it before. If you ever have the chance to see ”Vern in the Hills,” you will quickly understand how it became a classic.
