Children’s Fantasy Book Writer Needed

Job ID: 40484300

Budget: £250 – £750 GBP

A full-length, imaginative fantasy story for readers aged 9-12 is ready to be shaped from concept to final draft. The finished manuscript should exceed 50 pages and read like a captivating chapter book that balances wonder, relatable characters, and a clear moral arc without talking down to the audience.

You’ll start by outlining the plot, world-building rules, and main character journeys so we can lock in tone and pacing together. From there, draft engaging chapters that end with natural hooks, weave in age-appropriate conflict and humor, and maintain consistent voice throughout. Expect one collaborative feedback round after the outline and another after the complete first draft; final polish follows.

Deliverables:
• Detailed outline with chapter breakdown
• First draft manuscript (50+ pages, standard children’s fiction format)
• Revised, proof-read final manuscript in DOCX and PDF

Acceptance Criteria:
• Word count aligns with typical 9-12 chapter books (roughly 20–25K words)
• Language level and themes remain suitable for middle-grade readers
• Story arc resolves cleanly while leaving room for potential sequels

Preferred but not required: familiarity with comparative titles such as Percy Jackson, Fablehaven, or Wings of Fire so tonal references land quickly.
