Ghostwrite Musical Adventure Novel
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I want to transform my 107-page memoir, “My Love Affair With Music,” into a lively, light-hearted adventure novel of roughly 360 pages, to be published under the new title “My Musical Journey.”
You will begin by immersing yourself in the memoir so the original voice, pivotal relationships, and authentic musical moments all carry through. From there, expand the storyline with fresh, imaginative escapades—tour-bus mishaps, dating episodes with your wife-to-be, spontaneous gigs in unexpected places, or globe-trotting quests sparked by a single melody. Feel free to get playful, so long as the added action stays fun, upbeat, and in harmony with the memoir’s spirit.
Key focus
• Preserve the existing character relationships and vivid musical experiences.
• Maintain a tone that is consistently light, humorous, and adventurous.
• Deliver a novel-length manuscript that lands in the 90–95 K-word range (about 360 standard formatted pages).
Deliverables
1. A detailed outline and cast sheet for approval.
2. A sample opening chapter (≈25 pages) to confirm tone.
3. The first 120 pages of the manuscript in MS Word, double-spaced, 12-pt font.
4. The second 120 pages of the manuscript in MS Word, double-spaced, 12-pt font.
5. The final 120 pages of the manuscript in MS Word, double-spaced, 12-pt font.
6. One possible revision round addressing continuity, pacing, and character growth.
7. A Query letter
Acceptance criteria
• Core relationships and music scenes from the memoir remain recognizable and emotionally truthful.
• Added fictional elements blend seamlessly and heighten the sense of adventure.
• Dialogue, setting, and musical terminology feel authentic and engaging.
• Final draft meets agreed page/word count and is free of grammatical or structural issues.
If you’ve ghostwritten long-form fiction—especially music-infused stories—or can share a sample that shows a witty, fast-moving style, I’d love to read it. Let’s turn my real-life soundtrack into an unforgettable novel.
