Young Adult Mystery Short Story
Budget: ₹750 – ₹1,250 INR
I want to commission an original short story in the Mystery genre written specifically for a Young Adult audience. Expect something fast-paced, clue-driven, and packed with the kind of relatable characters and plot twists that keep teen readers flipping pages.
Tone & length
Give me a voice that feels authentic to teens—smart, contemporary, and light on heavy slang. I’m picturing roughly 3,000–5,000 words, but I’m flexible if the story naturally settles a little shorter or longer.
What I care about most
• A gripping opening that hooks the reader within the first paragraph
• A logical trail of clues that invites readers to solve the puzzle but still surprises them with a satisfying twist
• Characters who feel real and whose motives make sense
• Clean, polished prose free of grammatical errors
Timeline
There’s no fixed deadline, so you can craft the twists and red herrings without rushing. Just keep me posted on your progress and share a quick outline once you’ve sketched your main idea.
Deliverable
A final, proofread story delivered as an editable DOCX or Google Doc, with all rights transferred to me upon payment.
If this sounds like your kind of project, let me know how you’d approach the mystery and link to one or two samples in a similar style. I look forward to reading your pitch!
