Hello. I hope you are having a good day. My name is David Sharples, owner of Blackball Design, and I'm interested in assisting you with the editing of your 400 page policy manual. If you are available to chat, I'd like to discuss how you would like to develop it, whether you have an existing file that you want edited, whether an InDesign file or a Word doc, or if you want to copy and paste a text document into a document developer and add on the TOC, page numbers, titles and index. Whichever way you want to go, I'll be happy to talk about how we can go about it and develop your new manual to your satisfaction.
Utilizing Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word and LibreOffice, I've assisted a number of clients with developing documents, reports, brochures and other kinds of large text files, creating clean layouts with backgrounds, section divisions, footer page numbers and references, all indexed and listed under a table of contents. I'll be happy to send through samples of my work for you to see what I can do for you.
I've made a bid for $1000 and believe this will take about 15 days to develop. Let me know if this meets your expectations and deadline. Let me know if you are interested in further discussion or have any questions. Thank you very much.
