Drama Short Story on Self-Worth -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m putting together a collection for late-teens and college-age readers and need a dramatic short story built around the idea, “When you give someone too much importance, you lose your own.” The tone should feel contemporary and relatable, the conflict emotional rather than action-heavy, and the resolution leave readers thinking about healthy boundaries and self-respect.
Target audience: young adults, so keep the language fresh, the stakes personal, and the pacing tight. A realistic setting—school, early workplace, or social media life—will help them see themselves in the protagonist’s struggle.
Please aim for roughly 2,000–3,000 words.
Deliverables
• Complete short story in an editable document (Word or Google Doc).
• Two-to-three-sentence synopsis highlighting the core conflict and takeaway.
I’ll review for authentic dialogue, a clear character arc, and a memorable closing beat that reinforces the theme. If revisions are needed, we can do one round focused on flow or voice. Looking forward to reading your take.
