Seeking a proofreading of the (167 word) back cover text, for any MARKETING errors, of my 40,000 word collection of funny essays & stories about the chaos of raising 2 young children. I will be self-publishing under pen name Linda Watney with Createspace & KDP next week. My target population is married moms and the intent of my book is to lighten the heavy load that mom's carry by making them laugh. This is NOT a parenting advice book. It is a peek into one mom's life as it goes haywire day by day. I would also like to have an informative exchange with you about the critiquing of the text. The important things for me to communicate in the back cover text & marketing description are: 1) short easy to read snippets for mom with no time 2) humorous book not advice book (even though some lessons I learned do come through, which could be percieved as advice) 3) comradery, not competetion between moms. My goal is to support mom's as I felt supported when I listened to Stefanie Wilder-Taylor's Gummi Bears Should Not Be Organic. I was in a sad funk as a lonely home maker picking up & serving everyone all the time & when I began listening to Wilder-Taylors biting wit & reassurance while I cleaned house my spirits lifted. That is my goal. 4) reassurance that there are many 'right' ways to parent. This sentence is important to me 5) Please make an effort not to draw attention to my pen name, since people may find it off putting to have a book in the memoir section that is under a pen name. BACK COVER TEXT: "Got a minute? Of course you don’t, you’re a mom ... and so is Linda Watney. In Joyful Chaos, Watney offers hilarious short stories, personal essays, and secrets about surviving absurd parenting situations. Whether it’s toddlers hiding raw eggs under their pillow hoping to hatch a chicken, leaving the library dumbstruck, with a purse full of your child’s vomit or getting your hair stuck in a leaf blower while cleaning crackers out of the minivan, parenting isn’t always easy, but it is real. Written for the busy parent in bite-sized chapters, Joyful Chaos chronicles Watney’s journey from believing there is one ‘right’ way to parent to discovering that there are many ‘right’ ways. This is not an advice book. It is a peek into the mind and life of a mom just doing her best—dealing with chaos without losing her mind. Filled with self-deprecating humor, comforting insights, and a call for parents to unify, Joyful Chaos is a must have for every parent." To go further, my goal of the book was to provide readers with a friend (at some point by way of Audible I hope). Many of the stories are my finding myself in compromising situations with my kids as many parents often do (i.e. time outs in the department store while other child who is 2 plays in the toilet, running into a former co-worker in the delivery ward kitchenette while I wore an operating breast pump, horsing around with my 2 yr old only to get kicked in the engorged breast & developing a hematoma that needs draining, passing out in bedroom naked in 100 degree heat exhausted after 4 day weekend with small children only to be awoken by husband bringing plumbers into master bedroom to get to crawl space to give estimate for laying gas line). A bunch of "I can't believe I found myself in this situation & I feel so far gone as a mom" stories.

Hi pen-name Linda Watney, First of all, congratulations on writing a book. That is definitely not easy! Your book sounds hilarious and like a much-needed breath of fresh air for moms. I would love to help you structure your back cover text. Relevant Skills and Experience 3+ years editing consultant experience BA in Communications Frequent lurker on mom blogs like "Scary Mommy," so I understand the tone you're going for Proposed Milestones $20 USD - Structure and proofread back cover blurb One idea I have for the blurb is to turn each of the anecdote teasers into its own bullet point. Something like: "Any of this sound familiar? -Toddlers hiding raw eggs under a pillow, hoping to hatch a chicken -Running dumbstruck from the library with a purse full of your child's vomit -Getting your hair stuck in a leaf blower while cleaning cracker crumbs out of the minivan" Because these details are the real pull to your book, highlighting them in quick, easy-to-read bullet points will help moms glance at the text and make a quick decision to buy. Instead of a block of text and being *told* the stories are bite-sized, they can see straightway this book will be fun and easy to read. Your project would be my top priority and I would work with you until you are satisfied. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Either way, the very best of luck on this project. -Kate Merriman
