| Linda F | Posted – 10/14/2007 7:22:26 AM | show profile No, but I'm kind of embarrassed to reply because it was only about $5k! However, this was for their Healthy Living series, which are those smaller books, not the regular CS books. My job was to work with the expert co-author to write 10-12 short chapters and to choose the essays to be included. Linda -- Renegade Writer E-Courses: http://therenegadewriter.com/?page_id=340 |
