I contested for elections in a very conservative part of Africa. Coming from London, I had a certain expectation of conducting a grass roots campaign and following due process. No woman had ever contested for a legislative seat in my constituency because it is a Muslim community. However, it was ironic that both myself and my other contestant were both women. Having been born into a political dynasty, I already knew the my primary strategy was to reach out to the grassroots and very poor. Therefore, I concentrated all my efforts on interacting with the people directly. For 11 months, I moved to my fathers farm in the village where my constituency was and I worked tirelessly to woe the people. Before I knew it, I gained so much popularity that hardly anyone could believe it. To my credit, I had hired a camera man to follow my 11 month campaign. We are at present putting the footage together to make a documentary. When it came time for the primary election, I beat my opponent by a very large gap. Due to the fact that there had been some other constituencies in my state (not mine) who didn't conduct proper elections, the party called for a second election. Although I was frustrated and we were running out of funds, we participated in the second election. The second election was mindboggling and the support I got was beyond what I expected. In our second election, I got 26,520 votes while my opponent scored 4,109 votes. With a difference of 22,000, one would have thought it was obvious who the clear winner was. I couldn't imagine anyway such a gap could be disputed, especially since everything had been video taped. I have video footage to prove all this. The biggest mistake I made during my election was not approach any of the political party executive members. I felt it was not correct to give the executive members gifts or try to manipulate them in any way. This was exactly what my opponent did. So while she was popular with the party executive, I was very popular with the voters. After the second election had been finalized and announced, I felt secure in my victory. At that point, I left my constituency and went back to the city to get some rest. The next day, as I woke up I was confronted with the news that my opponent had been declared winner. I was shocked and called people in my constituency to find out if a third election had been held in my constituency. I was told that there hadn't been, Apparently, there had been few constituencies where elections still weren't conclusive and the party ordered for elections to be included in only those constituencies who hadn't had elections. Due to the fact that I was back in the city and had no idea what was happening, my opponent smuggled some election materials and went to fill in fake results in her car. Some of her associates who had helped forged the results recently approached me and pledged to testify he truth. I will be contesting for election again in 2015 in the same constituency and wanted to write a book on my experience in 2011. My idea would be a 11 chapter book with each chapter covering a month of the campaign I conducted and all the experiences I had. I want the book to be written in the first person, as if I were writing it myself and I want it to be w really emotional piece. I am a writer myself and would have loved to write the book myself, but I just don't have the time to write the book at the moment. I need the book to be written as soon as possible. I would expect each chapter to have about 7,000 words. I would be willing to record on tape everything that happened and that I want written in each chapter to make it easier for the writer to include everything that I envisage in the chapter. This can be transferred via mail. Below is a link to the piece I wrote about my experience after the election, so I hope that the writer will be able to understand the kind of emotion I am looking for in the book and in each of the 11 chapters. [login to view URL] I wanted to get a writer from India primarily because I think the writer would be able to relate to and reflect the culture of the constituency that I come from. There are clips on my youtube channel of the campaign and some parts of the election and result counting confirming my win before the results were changed. My Youtube channel can be found on [login to view URL] So please feel free to have a look and get a feel of the atmosphere I hope to capture. I hope that I do get a feed back from someone who can understand and work with my vision. But please keep in mind that I would like to have the book started as soon as possible and have it finished as soon as possible to. I am flexible with terms, as long as I can get a writer that can help me complete this project. Hope to get a feed back soon. Thankyou. Hanney

Hello, I am really touched and intrigued by the project description. I've gone through your blog and read through the style and tone of your writing. I cannot say that I resonate with you; your experience is really painful. But nothing can be as joyous as sharing your story with a larger audience, making people understand what you went through, and effectively making a revelation. I'm really excited to start working with you. To introduce myself, I am a ghostwriting veteran with more than 7 years of experience in writing books and eBooks for new and established authors. Effectively, I've written more than 180 books, some of which are best sellers on Amazon. As an icing on the cake, I'm also associated with a US publishing house, where I help them with editing, formatting, and creating print-ready books. I've written various biographies, one of it was for a known African personality. I can share the sample should you be interested in my proposal. I'm confident that I can leverage my previous experience to do justice to your expectations. I'll accept payment via Freelancer milestone only and will start once the milestone is made. You can release it once you are fully satisfied with my work. Thank you, for reading my proposal. I look forward to working with you. Cheers!

Hi HannatuHanney, I have read your project description and I think I am a best fit for it. Being originally from Nigeria before moving to the States, I can relate with the experiences you passed through. I imagine it would have been a shocker seeing your opponent awarded victory. It smacks of wanton neglect of justice. I strongly feel you have a good story to tell here. It is important to tell your story with clarity so that it will be factual and emotionally charged. You need to get across to your readers and touch their hearts. I would be glad to transfer my knowledge to this project. You will be glad to know that not only will you benefit from my 10 years’ experience in copywriting, academic writing, technical writing, book writing and journalistic writing; you will also have the advantage of a well-researched work. I think that what sets me apart from the competition is that I don’t compromise on quality. All my works are original and written in proper English. However, I have a few questions regarding this project. What are your expectations regarding this project and how many pages of work are you anticipating to see in the finished work? This is as far as I dare go with my questions. I will be glad to discuss more about the project with you in a private message. Why not get in touch so we can touch base on strategies to get the work done. If you need links or samples, all you have to do is send me a private message and I will gladly send them along. Warm Regards,

Dear Hanney, I see your job description as a reflection of your anguish and pain of having failed to achieve what you wanted...not to mention the pain of having been a victim of a system which is so much against genuine hard work and dedication towards the cause of the poor. I would like to write your book. For that I want to know more about the person called Hanney. I want to speak to you and know more about what you are and what you stand for. Let me know your thoughts. For this work, I think I would not charge my standard rate. I will charge much less. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Shim Vijay

Hi, This is Saket from India. I have campaigned very aggressively for a political party in India after completing my Post Graduation in Marketing and Communication from India. I read your entire blog and project description here and felt that you have written my experience here. Although I have never contested any election till date I have closely seen the manipulations done by Political parties in India. I would love to write about the Book. Also I will write it from my heart and soul because I always wanted to write a political book. As far as my experience is concerned, I have written 15 E-Books as a ghost writer. I have an extensive experience in copywriting and content writing for website. Let us discuss more about the project through PM.

Hello Hannatu, I found your 'Write a Book' post and I am very interested in your project. As an admin who writes all the articles for his blog, and as a fellow Nigerian who really knows what you are talking about, I know you will find I have the skills you are looking for. Please take a look at my portfolio to get an idea of the kind of articles I have written. Typically, I can write a book like this in one month. But I understand from the tone you used in the writings I read at the url you gave, this is a very special book. I will not promise you the book in 2 weeks like some people might. This is because I understand that we have to make the book as perfect as possible. I will be submitting one original, easy-to-read, plagiarism-free, edited and proofread chapter to you every week for your approval before I save the chapter as done. This means, we can create an 'A-Class' book in 3 months. I am wrapping up a project now and will have availability beginning Thursday. This means we can start your project over the weekend. I do have a few questions about the requirements and would be open to an interview. I am always online from 9.00am-12.30pm and 2.30pm-5.30pm daily if you would like to discuss. Otherwise, please let me know what times work for you Thank you for your time. Ibrahim Abdulaziz. Author and Articles Writer.

Greetings, Hannatu. I'm very taken aback by your project description. What an amazing story. It's easily the most in depth and heartfelt description I've yet read on Freelancer. Already I'm wondering very hard how I can do justice to it, in a mere proposal. I wish there were more than 8 hours left, before the bidding closed. I would like to be able to talk to you directly, somehow, before you have to decide on a bidder. But I can say a few general things. I wonder if it's possible to do the project justice in 20 days, as many of the bidders claim. Even a first draft of a 77,000 word book (if I read your hopes for its length and chapters correctly), would be a book written at a staggering pace. The depth and noble importance of your book adds to the challenge. I apologize for being "new" to Freelancer, and for not hailing from India (as you hope), but perhaps I can inspire you with some understanding. Please don't overlook me. I care deeply. It's a very important thing for me to believe that a government should represent its people. The very poor are not well served. Who has the money and time to ensure that their interests are protected in a nation? It is not the poor. Who profits financially from helping the poor? Not many. I feel so sorry for you, being betrayed by the system. The third election that occurred, after you returned to the city, must've broken your heart many ways. The love of the people deserve better. Please contact me if you can. Let me help.
