    I’m looking for a writer who can craft a gentle, heart-warming children’s story set in a lively jungle world. The narrative should centre on the idea of family—how the animals look out for one another and discover that every creature, big or small, has an important place in their shared home. Target age is early readers, so language needs to be vivid yet simple, with plenty of sensory detail and playful dialogue. Think of the pacing found in classic picture books: roughly 800–1,200 words, broken into clear scenes that an illustrator could easily visualise. While humour and adventure can appear, warmth and emotional connection must lead the way from first paragraph to last. Deliverables • A complete, polished manuscript in Word or Google Docs • A brie...

    Author 10 Kids +10 Fiction Books Open Details Proposals $10.00 – 30.00 USD Bidding ends in 6 days I’m putting together a two-tier publishing plan and need a single writer (or a well-coordinated team) to handle every word. The brief is straightforward: First, I need ten children’s picture-story books, each running about twenty illustrated pages. The tone has to be playful and age-appropriate, but I don’t want the language oversimplified to the point of losing charm—think read-aloud bedtime favourites that adults won’t mind revisiting. Second, I need ten full-length fiction titles of roughly 150 manuscript pages apiece. These can share a common universe or stand alone; I’m open to pitches on genre so long as the storytelling remains engaging ...

    I’m expanding a line of romance-focused stories and need a junior writer who can turn my detailed outlines and prompts into engaging chapters. Every project begins with a clear brief: character sheets, plot beats, and scene goals are all supplied, so you’ll never stare at a blank page. Your job is to bring those elements to life with fresh prose, believable dialogue, and the emotional pull that romance readers expect. You should already feel comfortable drafting inside an AI-assisted workflow. I use ChatGPT daily to generate rough dialogue, brainstorm twists, and tighten pacing, and I’d like you to do the same. If you also dabble with tools like Grammarly or ProWritingAid for polishing, that’s a plus, but not required. Key expectations • Write 2–3 con...

    My current feature-length ninja fantasy script already has the core plot beats and set pieces on the page, but the story rhythm and character work still feel uneven. I need a screenwriter who can dive in, shake up the structure where it drags, and return a tighter, more emotionally resonant draft. Here’s what matters most to me: • Story restructuring and development are the top priority. I’m open to shifting scenes, combining characters, or re-ordering acts if it heightens tension and flow. • Every central character needs sharper definition. Please expand backstories and motivations, map clear arcs and growth, and ensure relationships and interactions land with real weight. • Three thematic threads must stand out organically in the rewrite—honor...

    I have a collection of outlined plotlines and character sketches for a web-based romantic suspense series and need a skilled wordsmith to turn those notes into gripping, polished episodes. The core job is to expand my existing ideas into fully drafted chapters, weaving tension, romance, and cliff-hangers suitable for serialized online publishing. You’ll receive scene breakdowns, key twists, and relationship arcs up front; your task is to bring them to life with vivid prose, natural dialogue, and a pace that keeps readers binge-scrolling. Occasional light proofreading or line edits may be required as new installments go live, but the main focus is fresh narrative creation from supplied beats. Please be comfortable writing in a contemporary voice, blending mystery elements with e...

    I would like a single free-verse poem that captures love in its most romantic light—tender, genuine, and evocative. Flowing structure matters more to me than strict meter or rhyme, so feel free to let the language breathe naturally while still giving it a clear emotional arc. Please deliver: • One polished poem, roughly 20–30 lines (flexible if inspiration calls for more or fewer). • A brief 1–2 sentence note on your creative approach so I understand the imagery and symbolism you chose. The finished piece should read smoothly when spoken aloud, evoke vivid feelings of affection and intimacy, and avoid clichés. If you’re ready to pour heartfelt emotion onto the page, I look forward to reading your work.

    I’m putting together a lively, age-appropriate adventure story for children aged 3–5 and need a skilled children’s writer to craft the full manuscript. The heart of the tale should be friendship: a fun, engaging journey where young listeners see how cooperation and kindness help the characters solve their challenge. Here’s what I’m after: a simple, rhythmic narrative that fits the attention span of preschoolers, around 500–700 words total, broken naturally into page turns that leave space for future illustrations. Bright dialogue, playful repetition, and language that reads aloud smoothly are essential. While the main theme is friendship, feel free to weave in gentle humour, imaginative settings, or cute animal sidekicks if they enhance the adventure. ...

    I have already mapped out a detailed outline for a philosophical science-fantasy novel and now need a skilled writer to expand it into a complete first draft of roughly 50,000–70,000 words. The world, themes, and major plot points are all laid out; what I am missing is the imaginative prose that turns those notes into an engaging manuscript. You can come aboard in whichever capacity suits you best. If you prefer to remain behind the scenes, the ghostwriting path offers 80 % of any eventual advance and 60 % of lifelong royalties once the book is traditionally published. If you would rather share the creative spotlight, we can work as co-writers and split all proceeds and rights 50/50. Either way, I will take over the revision, marketing, and publishing legwork after your draft is del...

    I need a creative writer who can craft one fresh, stand-alone mystery every single day for readers aged 5–7. Each story should unfold in a familiar school setting—classrooms, playgrounds, lunchrooms—where the clues are fun, the stakes are small, and the ending always lands with a light, humorous twist. What matters most to me is that the language stays simple enough for early readers (or for parents to read aloud), the suspense feels exciting but never scary, and the resolution leaves kids smiling. Think missing crayons, vanishing cupcakes, or a squeaky locker that hides a surprise—all wrapped up in 300–400 words. I’ll look for: • Age-appropriate vocabulary and sentence length • A clear, gentle mystery arc (set-up, clue trail, cheerfu...

First I want a developmental review that pinpoints plot holes, pacing issues, character consistency, theme execution, and overall structure.

    I’m developing a feature-length drama that unfolds in a rich, fantastical world and I need a European screenwriter to bring it to life. The core premise, central characters and several key plot points are already mapped out; what’s missing is an evocative, industry-ready screenplay that captures the emotional weight of classic drama while immersing viewers in an original, other-worldly setting. You’ll be free to expand the lore, refine the story architecture and deepen character arcs, so long as the final script remains grounded in dramatic stakes rather than veering into action-adventure or pure fantasy tropes. Fluency with standard screenplay formatting software—Final Draft or Celtx—is essential so I can move straight into pre-production without conversion ...

    I'm looking for an experienced fiction writer to create a historical fiction novel inspired by Norman Lewis’ Voices of the Old Sea. The memoir will serve as reference material to structure the fictional plot and characters, drawing from its themes and setting, with name changes and a shift from nonfiction to a character and plot-driven fiction structure. This will not be a direct adaptation, as I do not hold the rights to the original work. The final deliverable should be in PDF format, with a minimum of 80,000 words suitable for a debut novel submission. Preference will be given to writers with proven experience in literary historical fiction.
