Other Details:
I wish to utilize the Bible In Basic English as a source for compiling
several works which are completely or nearly 100% remixes of the scripture
source. The primary usage for this is to be available in digital format for
download at no cost, but I was also hoping/planning to make them available
for purchase in digital and print-on-demand form on the Amazon platform.

The works include

The Jesus Remix: the four gospels in a chronological sequence.
The Church Remix: the Acts/Epistles/Revelation in a chronological sequence.
The Genesis Report: Early Bible portions in chronological Sequence.
The Exodus Report: Exodus - Joshua in a chronologial Sequence.
The Kingdom Report: Samuel - Ezra in a Chronological Report

Paul: his Work and Writings
John: his Work and Writings
The Teachings of Jesus
The Laws of the Bible.

I am producing these in Versions of the Bible Designed for American and
British readers of a high reading ability. The Bible in Basic English
provides the widest possible audience potentially up to 2 billion readers
that can understand the words.

Separately I seek permission to produce these works 1. for digital
noncommercial release without geographic restriction.
and
2. for commercial release both digital and print, in the USA, in Australia,
in Japan, in the UK, in Europe, and in Canada.
