Teen Romance Story Writer

Job ID: 39953046

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I’ve outlined a warm, hopeful high-school romance entitled “Langit di Atas Lapangan.” The core of the tale is the connection between Rafa—a shy student who loves photographing the evening sky—and Lira, the classmate whose candid laugh he accidentally captures. What I need now is a polished short story manuscript that brings their very first encounter to life in vivid, heartfelt detail. The finished piece should center on that pivotal moment when Rafa’s camera clicks and everything changes, letting readers feel the spark between them while sprinkling in the gentle atmosphere of sunset on the school field.

Scope
• Length: 4 000–6 000 words, Indonesian.
• Tone & mood: soft, wistful, full of quiet optimism.
• Emphasis: the initial meeting of Rafa and Lira, showing how an innocent photo plants the seed of a deeper bond.
• Sensory touches: evening sky colours, sounds of the school yard, Rafa’s internal flutter.
• Ending: leave space for future development rather than a full confession scene.

Deliverables
1. Complete short-story manuscript (Word or Google Doc).
2. A brief synopsis (200 words max).
3. Two suggested titles in case the current working title changes.

Please attach samples of past work—particularly YA or romance pieces—so I can gauge narrative voice and emotional resonance. No full proposals needed at this stage; strong, relevant excerpts will speak for themselves. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right storyteller.
