Children’s Fantasy Book Author Needed

Job ID: 40518506

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I’m developing a middle-grade fantasy story aimed at readers aged 9–12 and need a writer who can turn my concept into a polished manuscript. The book should weave together the themes of friendship, bravery, and magic in a way that feels fresh, relatable, and exciting for this age group.

Here’s what I’m after:
• A captivating fantasy plot that builds real tension yet stays age-appropriate.
• Memorable characters whose relationships highlight true friendship and courage.
• A magical system that is easy to grasp but rich enough to keep readers invested.
• Clear, engaging prose and lively dialogue suited to middle-grade reading levels.

Deliverables
1. A detailed chapter outline for approval before drafting begins.
2. The full manuscript in an editable Google Docs or Word file.
3. Two revision passes based on my feedback.

Acceptance Criteria
• Word count and pacing must suit 9–12-year-olds.
• All three core themes—friendship, bravery, and magic—are prominent throughout the story arc.
• Language is free of grammar or spelling errors and follows U.S. English conventions.

If you have samples of published or completed work in this age range, please attach them so I can get a feel for your style.
