Mystical Creature Fantasy Ghostwriting

I’m commissioning an adult-focused fantasy story that unfolds entirely through a first-person lens and revolves around awe-inspiring mystical creatures. The final piece should feel intimate yet epic—readers must sense every heartbeat, smell the damp earth of hidden realms, and marvel at beings that haven’t been overused in popular lore.

Scope
• Length: flexible, though a short-story frame of roughly 8–12k words should suit the idea; I’m open to a longer treatment if the plot demands it.
• Style: first-person narration, mature vocabulary, vivid sensory detail.
• Theme: discovery of unknown species, their culture, and the moral choices that come from encountering true otherness.
• Audience: adult readers who appreciate layered world-building, complex emotion, and a dash of dark intrigue.

Workflow & Deliverables
1. One-page concept synopsis to confirm direction.
2. Expanded outline highlighting major beats, character arcs, and creature lore.
3. Complete draft.
4. One revision cycle incorporating my notes.
5. Clean, proofread final manuscript (Word or Google Docs).

Acceptance Criteria
• Consistent first-person voice throughout.
• At least two fully developed original mystical creatures with unique traits and societal roles.
• No explicit YA tone or simplified language.
• Manuscript passes Grammarly or equivalent for grammar and clarity.

If you thrive on building believable myths and can keep readers glued from the opening line, I’m eager to read your proposal and a short sample of related work.
