Do you enjoy writing any of the following? Paranormal Romance Thrillers Horror Young adult Fantasy Sci-fi We are looking to hire a couple of "Good" writers to write a few, original content, kindle formatted stories for us that we can give away to our readers on our website. Before you bid please note the following: #1- We require that *Every Single Sentence* of what you write come from your own creative mind… In other words, we will check every single line of the content that you hand in and will ONLY accept 110% original material. We DO NOT accept nor will we pay for plagiarized content.. Even if you simply borrow 1 sentence out of 25 pages… EVERYTHING must be 100% unique and created by you and you must be willing to sign a contract stating that YOU and only YOU created the content. (will require that you sign a notarized contract agreeing to this.) #2- We need these to be formatted for Kindle eReaders (including hyperlinked table of contents) #3- We will own all rights to the finished product once you are paid for it. That means we will own the byline rights, resale rights, ownership rights, copyrights and everything else and will require that you sign a notarized contract agreeing to this. #4- Your written English must be 150% on target (much better than mine ;-) In fact we are mainly looking for writers from the U.S., Canada and the U.K. For each story we require: ** A mini "series" with "regular" characters where each story ends in a “Cliff hanger”. Meaning each ending is a continuation of the last and leaves the reader in suspense… And in the next story you’ll have to deliver on what the cliff hanger promised in the last story, make sense? ** About 25 pages (+/-) Times New Roman 10 Point No more than 1" margins all the way around I hate sounding so formula but we get a lot of jokers who bid and try to pull fast ones, so with that said we are only looking for series, long term people who LOVE to write stories of this nature because we will have a TON of work for you. When bidding be sure to add the phrase “Love Machine” at the VERY beginning of your bid / message so I know you took the time to fully read this project description and are not just bidding blindly ;-) You should be available long term as we are looking for more long term writers on our team. We would like to have you create a continuous “mini-series”, with each 25 page “story” having a cast of regular characters (as well as new people being introduced from time to time). This is easy stuff and if you are good and your price is good we can give you very regular work. Show samples of your other work that is SIMILAR Questions for Freelancers 1.-Have you ever written anything similar? 2- Do you have samples that are YOURS? (Not someone else’s work but yours) 3- Are you available long term as in 1 year + 4- How many 25 page stories can you write a month ? Please answer honestly as we hate to have you commit to more than you can handle. 5- Let us know which genre you most enjoy writing content for

Love Machine Hi I have previously written some stories for several customers, but unfortunately for me none in the horror/supernatural arena, which is just what I like the most. I can write about 3x 25 pages per month, all in the horror theme. I'm much into Lovecraft, Gaiman and Barker, though with my own writing style I guess. Please check pm for some samples so you can check my English. Many thanks.

Love Machine I have written quite a few short stories for clients on Freelancer. Unfortunately most of them were ghost writing work and cannot be shared. I do have a sample of a horror story I wrote semi-recently. I can provide more samples of sci-fi or fantasy. I have very good reviews from my previous employers. I am available to work long term, but my turnout rate my vary. I would say that I can probably write a minimum of 2 25 page stories in a month, possibly more, depending on external circumstances. I greatly enjoy writing sci-fi, fantasy and paranormal. I can write horror on occasion, but it's a bit more challenging for me.

"Love Machine" Hi, I can write, and have written short stories in the genres Romance, YA, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I have read and understood all of your terms and conditions, and am willing to abide by them 110%. The requirements for each story will be duly met. 1 - Yes I have written stories in the above mentioned genres before. 2 - Yes, I do have samples. 3 - Yes I am available for long term (1+ Year), and I'm very serious about my writing, I can assure you on that. 4 - I can write 2 stories per month. 5 - I enjoy writing YA, Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres the most. I sincerely hope that you consider me as a ghostwriter for your stories. On a further note, I know I have a talent for writing, but I also know that talent isn't the only thing that gets a story published these days, so I would rather work under people who know the market's ins and outs, and leave me to do what I do best, and that is to write, write and only write. Happy New Year, Sara

"Love Machine" Hello there! I am an English major in college and quite enjoy both reading and writing about the paranormal, romance, and thriller novels. I can reasonably turn out two 25 page stories for my series within a one month time frame. I say two so as not to turn out shoddy work as I only want to give my best effort. As I become more comfortable, this number may increase. I have impeccable grammar and punctuation and I hope to hear from you very soon! I will also be available in the long term, 1 year + as you stated in your directions. I can provide an example or two of my work upon request. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Happy Holidays!

This sounds like a great opportunity. Oh, and "love machine". To give you a bit of insight into my credentials, I am an experienced author with two published paranormal mystery novels out in my A Life of Death collection. I also have a sci-fi/dark fantasy series entitled Altered Realities. The first book, Invisible Dawn, is published and available on Amazon and Barnesandnoble.com. I am currently working on the sequel. I have also co-written a collection of short, twisted fantasy tales with two other authors and published it, titled Strange Circumstances. More of my short stories have also been published in a couple small anthologies. In addition I run WAKE Editing, an editing and formatting company for fiction novelists, and am quite familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style expectations. Finally, I've also taught English for over seven years. I have a BS in English and a Masters degree in Education. I prefer writing paranormal, fantasy (dark and high), horror, and some science fiction. I've also been interested in branching into writing steampunk. On a low end, I should be able to finish 3-4 a month, but could potentially complete more in the same period of time later. I am available for much more than a year and hope we can foster a long-term relationship. Weston Kincade

Love Machine doesn't have anything on me :) This sounds like a really interesting project. I really do like F&SF, and I can build in some elements of romance and the supernatural (which is kind of a must in the fantasy genre). I have written several stories in my spare time, both as fan-fiction as well as building my own universes, and to get them monetised sounds downright awesome. I would like to bid for this project, but with the following understanding: 1. I am fine with not receiving any credit; this is a strictly work-for-hire situation. But I will have to bid up my price in order to compensate for this. 2. I need to understand what you mean by 25 pages. Is that 25 Kindle pages or 25 A4 (~US Letter) pages? Because using Times New Roman 10pt with 1" margins, 1 A4 page is roughly equivalent to 2 paperback pages and approx 800-1000 words. 3. Depending on your definition, I can churn out anywhere between 2-4 'books' per month. I will be available all year round for this project, but will notify you ahead of time if anything more urgent crops up. 4. I normally write using UK English (certain spelling variations, slang terms); if you want to keep it as Americanised as possible, I need to know upfront. 5. My series will generally not be 'urban fantasy' (e.g. Harry Dresden, SERRAted Edge etc), although I can write such. If I write in an SF setting, my default will usually be a single-species civilisation; if religion is touched on, predominantly Christian; if measurements are used, metric. This is just a matter of extrapolation; these and other specific issues can be settled during the contract phase. The reason I am saying all of this is to assure you that I, too, am serious about this project, and not just bidding blindly, as you put it. Looking forwards to hearing back from you, and wishing you a Happy New Year.

Love machine. Hi =) I'm really interested in this job. I love writing. I mostly write romance and young adult. As for your questions: 1 - I've been writing since I was ten. I started to write longer stories (more than a few pages long) two years ago. 2 - Yes, I do. 3 - Yes, I am. 4 - I can promise one 25 page story a month. Sometimes I may have an opportunity to write more but I can't promise anything becasue I don't know how busy my work will get through the year. 5 - romance and young adult Hope you'll consider me. Thanks. =)

LOVE MACINE! Science Fiction/romance/young-adult. Quality over quantity! It takes good time to create good stories. I have a college degree, and I was in AP English in high school and college. I have tons of short stories bottled up.

Love Machine (nice). I am a keen short story writer who also writes short and long form screenplays. My interests lie mainly with horror and sci-fi and even surreal or weird fiction. I pride myself on creating interesting and unique scenarios, please check my portfolio for example of creative writing. As a proofreader I can guarantee you a manuscript delivered in perfect English. I'm not 100% sure what the bid is for. Is it for the first 25 page story or the whole series? I've quoted $200 for 25 pages, just to be clear. I estimate that I could average four - twenty five page sections a month, but this could could easily be an underestimate. I am available for the foreseeable future.

Love machine. I have written a serialised thriller, which is included in my portfolio under the title 'In The Hollows'. It was written in 12 parts for an online magazine. More samples are included there. I am available long term. I would be able to write 2 25 page stories per month. I most enjoy sci-fi or thrillers. Hope to work with you soon.
