Non-Fiction Crime Book Co-Author
Budget: $10 – $3,000 AUD
I’m searching for a writing partner to help turn years of research on a real criminal case into a publish-ready, full-length non-fiction book. I have interview transcripts, true crime audio podcasts, personal notes, and media clippings; what I need is a skilled storyteller who can weave those facts into a gripping narrative while keeping every detail accurate and ethically sourced.
We’ll begin by shaping a chapter-by-chapter outline, then move into drafting 70–80 k words in a single, seamless voice. I’ll supply all raw material and remain fully engaged—reviewing each section, sharing additional context, and meeting regularly by video or phone to refine tone and flow.
Ideal fit: you’ve already ghost-written or co-authored long-form non-fiction, preferably true crime, with a journalist’s instinct for verification and a novelist’s sense of pacing. Solid command of English, comfort with citations, and respect for sensitive content are essential.
Core deliverables
• Annotated outline and research gap list
• First complete draft
• Two revision passes incorporating my feedback
• Proof-read, publication-ready manuscript (Word + PDF)
Please include links to comparable work and outline your typical workflow when you respond so we can confirm chemistry and schedule. I look forward to building this story together.
Freelancer cost is the share of income from what will definitely be a best seller based on the public interest in these unsolved crimes.
A Melbourne Australia based candidate will be best placed but not necessarily the most qualified candidate.
