Steampunk Dark Fantasy Novel Ghostwriting

Job ID: 40383271

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I have a vivid concept for a gritty, dark steampunk fantasy and need a seasoned ghostwriter to turn it into a full-length manuscript. The tale follows a heroic main character who battles both inner demons and mechanical monstrosities in a world powered by advanced steam technology. Think clanking automatons, soot-stained Victorian streets, and looming airships patrolling a smog-choked sky.

What I already have
• Core plot arc and major story beats
• Rough sketches of key locations and gadgets
• Character notes for the protagonist, supporting cast, and primary antagonist

What I need from you
• Expand the outline into a rich, chapter-by-chapter roadmap
• Craft engaging prose that balances world-building with fast-paced, high-stakes action
• Weave in advanced steam machinery, Victorian-era aesthetics, and airship culture as organic parts of the setting
• Maintain a consistently gritty, dark tone while keeping the hero’s moral compass clear
• Provide two rounds of revisions after I review the first draft

Deliverables
1. Detailed outline (5–7 pages)
2. First 10,000-word sample for tone alignment
3. Complete polished manuscript (word count to be agreed together)

Preferred skills: prior steampunk or dark fantasy credits, strong dialogue, and an ear for atmospheric description. If you can make readers feel the hiss of steam valves and the crunch of gears underfoot, I want to work with you.

Send a brief portfolio sample—ideally steampunk or dark fantasy—and let me know your proposed timeline. I’m ready to collaborate closely and start immediately.
