Write Middle-Grade Fantasy Book

I’m ready to bring a new fantasy adventure to life for readers aged 9-12 and I need a skilled children’s author who can capture their imagination from the very first page. The story should be fast-paced yet heartfelt, packed with inventive world-building, clever twists, and age-appropriate humor that resonates with middle-grade sensibilities.

Here’s what I’m after:
• A full manuscript (roughly 15–20k words) crafted in clear, engaging prose.
• Chapter-by-chapter outline delivered first for alignment on plot, character arcs, and themes.
• Scene notes that highlight where colorful, detailed illustrations will enhance the narrative.
• Two revision rounds to refine pacing, dialogue, and overall flow based on my feedback.

Experience writing fantasy for this age bracket is essential, and it’s a bonus if you’ve collaborated with illustrators before—think vivid description that naturally inspires bright, intricate artwork. If you can weave relatable characters, stakes that matter, and a satisfying conclusion, I’d love to collaborate.

Please share a brief proposal outlining your concept approach, any relevant samples, and your estimated timeline for outline, first draft, and final manuscript. Let’s create a story kids won’t want to put down.
