Hello,
Our names are Michael & Zach Zakar, we go by the Zakar Twins.
We are in the final stages of our memoir, Pray The Gay Away.
Pray the Gay Away is the eccentric coming out story of Iraqi twin brothers, Michael and Zach, as they face awkward sexual encounters, drug-fueled escapades, coming out to each other, and their biggest foe, Mom.
We're looking for a humorous writer to help push our book to the next stage of development to self-publish and sell.
About the book:
-41000+ words
-190 pages via Word
-More info on: [login to view URL]
Looking for an editor who can:
-Correct grammar and sentence structure
-Fix the story for smoother transitions and flow
-An original, yet funny writing style
-We want to show closeness of having a twin, yet keeping the twins as individuals.
We want a book that shows the cultural difference in coming out, a book that makes other readers laugh and yet feel a closeness with Michael and Zach's stupidity.
Price: $4/page
