Write Children's Haunted House Story
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m looking for a skilled storyteller to craft a ghost tale for children that leans more toward mystery than outright terror. The entire plot must unfold inside a haunted house—creaking floors, hidden passageways, maybe a whispered legend or two—yet stay age-appropriate, keeping thrills high while nightmares low.
What I have in mind
• Tone: mysterious, gently spooky, never gruesome
• Audience: children roughly 8–12 years old
• Setting: a single haunted house that acts almost like a character itself
I’ll rely on you to develop engaging characters, a suspenseful build-up, and a satisfying resolution that leaves young readers delighted rather than disturbed. Please submit the finished story as an editable document (Word or Google Docs) along with a short synopsis. If you already have experience writing middle-grade fiction or similar ghost stories, include a brief sample or link; it helps me gauge fit more quickly.
Once approved, all rights to the story will transfer to me so I can publish or adapt it freely. I’m happy to answer questions about length, style tweaks, or any plot ideas you’d like to run by me before diving in.
