Hello,
First of all, I feel that this project is a very important one, and I commend you for taking on this project! Encouraging the adolescents and teens of present day America is a tall order... that said, I am both knowledgeable and experienced in that domain. I majored in psychology in undergrad, and am currently earning my master's degree in school counseling; I employ many strategies to encourage students to alter their perspective on almost a daily basis. I would love to help out with writing some chapters in this book, and can integrate some Biblical/Christian principles along the way. I would be most interested in writing Ch.1 (The Importance of Attitude), Ch. 3 (Choose to be positive), Ch. 6 (Attitude of Contentment), and/or Ch. 7 (Attitude of Gratitude). My plan is to provide some pscyhoeducation, illustration of examples, Christian principles/passages, and exercises teens can follow, such that it would read a little like a self-help workbook. Should you select me to participate in this project, I might request to negotiate price and/or time frame in which to work, depending on how many chapters for which I will be writing content.
Again, I am excited for the opportunity to work on a project that melds so well with my future career and personal interests- I look forward to hearing from you soon :)
Have a wonderful day!
Best,
Leslie J. Kovach
