As an academic and content writer, I am also an avid book reader.
Recently, I did three book review assignments for the following publications:
• Ian Brennan’s Us vs. Them: The Failure of Globalism
• Kate Moore’s The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women
• Beverley Naidoo’s The Other Side of Truth
I provide samples of each in my portfolio but include samples from Naidoo’s young adult and children’s book, in this proposal:
In Beverley Naidoo’s The Other Side of Truth (2000), the author chronicles the fictionalized plight of the Nigerian Solaja family whose remaining members suffer forced migration and relocation due to the critical reporting of Folarin Solaja, the male parent and investigative journalist. Set in the country’s turbulent 1990s, when brutal military dictatorships ruled Nigeria, the story unfolds in an intense six-week period through the experiences of the Solaja children’s sudden exodus from their beloved country and unexpected relocation in a foreign and often hostile London. Sade and Femi, the respective twelve and ten-year-olds hear and witness their mother’s assassination one November morning, as they ready for a normal school day.
Although the reviews were ghostwritten for undergraduate students, I can tailor the reviews for the needed audience.
I feel enthusiastic about bidding and participating in this project
Thanks for considering me for your project.
