Write Fantasy Kids Book

I’m looking for a writer who can craft a middle-grade fantasy story (ages 9–12) built around magic and mystery. The goal is a full manuscript that hooks readers from the opening scene, balances wonder with suspense, and resolves in a satisfying, age-appropriate way.

I will supply only a rough premise; you’ll develop the plot, world, and characters, keeping language accessible yet rich enough for confident young readers. Please weave in spells, enchanted locations, and puzzling clues that invite kids to guess what happens next without feeling lost or overwhelmed.

Deliverables
• 25,000–35,000-word manuscript in Word or Google Docs
• One-paragraph back-cover blurb
• Chapter-by-chapter synopsis suitable for agents or illustrators

Acceptance Criteria
The story must:
• Center on a relatable protagonist who discovers or uses magic responsibly
• Maintain consistent internal logic for the fantasy elements
• Offer tension and stakes appropriate for 9–12 year olds, ending on hope rather than darkness
• Be original; I will run plagiarism checks

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, tell me about a similar project you’ve completed and your typical timeline to first draft.
