Animal Adventure Picture Book Writing

Job ID: 40582094

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I’m looking for a creative writer to craft a warm, engaging picture-book manuscript aimed at children aged 3–5. The story should centre on lovable animal characters who set off on a gentle adventure—something exciting enough to spark curiosity yet comforting for a preschool audience.

What I need from you:
• A complete manuscript of roughly 500–700 words, broken into clear page turns that suit standard 24–32-page picture-book layouts.
• Simple, vivid language with plenty of rhythm and read-aloud appeal.
• A short pitch or blurb (1–2 sentences) that captures the story’s hook.
• Optional illustrator notes only where they truly help clarify scene or emotion.

I’ll provide feedback on the outline and first draft; one revision round is included in the scope. If you have experience writing adventure-themed stories for young children or a portfolio featuring animal protagonists, I’d love to see it.
