E-book on Kites

This is a writing and possibly photographic project that involves writing a short book about making kites. The main body of the book will be a step-by-step guide to making various kinds of kites, from simple kites that children could make, to complex designs. The range will include diamond, box, delta, and sled kites as well as some decorative designs like chinese, dragon and windsock kites. Because this is a step-by-step guide, it will need illustrations of each step the building process (these could be hand-drawn or preferably photographic) as well as materials and supplies lists, and where you can get these materials. The dimensions and specifications need to be exact so the finished kite will fly. ## Deliverables This is a writing and possibly photographic project that involves writing a short book about making kites. The main body of the book will be a step-by-step guide to making various kinds of kites, from simple kites that children could make, to complex designs. The range will include diamond, box, delta, and sled kites as well as some decorative designs like chinese, dragon and windsock kites. The kite designs need to be rated for difficulty, both in construction and how hard they are to fly. There will also be a short introduction that covers general information such as history, basics of aerodynamics and why kites fly, and some information about kites from around the world. Because this is a step-by-step guide, it will need illustrations of each step the building process (these could be hand-drawn or preferably photographic) as well as materials and supplies lists, and where you can get these materials. The dimensions and specifications need to be exact so the finished kite will fly. There are lots of sites and books with ideas for kite designs, but please ensure that in using content from other websites you are not simply copying and pasting, and please do not infringe copyright. This means that you will probably need to build the designs yourself. This book is for a range of people, from beginners to advanced, who want to make some impressive looking kites, so we want some colourful, interesting and exciting designs included! I have some books that would give some good ideas. I'll take care of edits and proof reading. Specifications 1) The book is to be delivered as an MS Word or Open Office Writer file in Ariel 12 point. 2) The first 2,000 words is the introduction, and will be a short history of kites, basic aerodynamics and why kites fly, and some interesting info about kites from around the world. 3) There will then be at least 8 different kite designs to make, a basic diamond kite, a box kite, a delta kite, a sled kite, a chinese kite, a windsock kite and a couple of special kites, like a dragon kite or a ghost kite etc. Each of these designs needs step-by-step instructions with detailed specifications and illustrations, plus material lists. 4) I'll review and approve the book to make sure it's within specification. 5) I'll retain complete ownership and copyright and have exclusive right to use all work on my website and for direct mail. 6) It doesn't matter to me if you use content from other websites and books to give you ideas for writing, just don't copy the content and infringe on a copyright. All work must MUST BE ORIGINAL ….
