Children's Storybook Writer for 6-8 Year Olds Available
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I’m creating a charming picture-book for children aged 6–8 that centres on the theme of friendship. The storyline should be engaging yet simple enough for early readers, with lively dialogue and a clear moral thread that encourages empathy and cooperation.
Here’s what I need from you:
• A complete manuscript written in English, paced for a traditional page-turning picture-book format. I’m flexible on the final page count; just keep the narrative tight and age-appropriate.
• Brief art notes for each spread that guide a balanced mix of hand-drawn and digital illustrations (think warm pencil or watercolour textures enhanced with subtle digital polish). No need to produce the artwork yourself—just make sure your descriptions give an illustrator a vivid springboard.
• Character names, setting descriptions, and any recurring visual motifs clearly identified so the design flows naturally from page to page.
• One short back-of-book blurb and a two-sentence author’s note explaining the friendship lesson in kid-friendly language.
Acceptance criteria:
– Manuscript delivers a complete beginning, middle, and satisfying resolution in 1,000–1,500 words.
– Tone and vocabulary fit 6–8-year-old independent readers.
– Art notes align with the blended illustration style and reference colour moods or focal elements where relevant.
– All files delivered in an editable Word or Google Docs format.
If this sounds like your expertise, I’m eager to read a short sample scene or synopsis outline to ensure our visions match before we dive into the full draft.
