Write Adventure Animal Picture Book
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
The goal is to craft a warm, adventure-filled picture-book manuscript that keeps preschoolers (ages 3-5) turning pages and cheering for a friendly cast of animal heroes. I already have the age bracket, theme, and character type pinned down; what I now need is your storytelling craft to pull everything together into a fun, read-aloud narrative that balances excitement with gentle, age-appropriate language.
Deliverables
• Polished manuscript suitable for a 24–32 page picture book (roughly 500–800 words, but feel free to suggest the optimal length for this age range).
• Simple page-by-page or spread-by-spread breakdown indicating key scenes and visual cues for an illustrator.
• One-sentence story summary and a short, engaging back-cover blurb.
Acceptance Criteria
• Clear adventure arc with a satisfying resolution and a subtle positive message.
• Lovable animal protagonists that invite expressive illustration and easy character voices at story-time.
• Vocabulary, sentence length, and pacing tailored to early listeners and emerging readers (3-5 years).
• Final text delivered in an editable document (DOCX or Google Docs) with standard picture-book formatting.
