Mentor for Mystery Story Writing -- 2

Job ID: 40121416

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I want to turn my passion for content writing into a real freelance skill, focusing specifically on short mystery stories. I’m looking for a mentor who can guide me from the very first spark of an idea all the way to a polished, publishable piece.

Here’s what I have in mind: we meet online twice a week to cover plot design, pacing, character development, and the art of building suspense. After each session I’ll submit a 1,000-word draft and would love detailed, track-changes style feedback—Google Docs, Word, or Scrivener all work for me. By the end of our collaboration I aim to complete a small portfolio of three to five refined mystery shorts and leave with a clear plan for offering my writing services on freelance platforms.

I value hands-on exercises, practical examples, and honest, constructive critiques more than generic theory. If you’ve published mystery fiction yourself or helped other writers succeed, please share a quick note about it along with your proposed timeline and mentoring approach. I’m eager to start learning and growing under your guidance.
