Young Adult Historical Non-Fiction Story -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m putting together a narrative assignment that retells a real historical event for readers in the 13-18 age range. I need a writer who can weave carefully researched facts into a vivid, emotionally resonant story without straying into fiction. The tone should feel accessible—never like a textbook—yet still satisfy a teacher’s scrutiny for accuracy.
You’ll choose a single historical event (we can confirm it together before you begin), dig into reputable primary and secondary sources, and build a clear beginning-middle-end arc that keeps young adults invested. Dialogue must be drawn from documented quotations or labeled as reconstructed; exposition should highlight the social context and the stakes of the time.
Deliverables:
• 3,000–4,000-word manuscript in .docx
• Brief source list with links or citations
• One-paragraph synopsis suitable for back-cover copy
Acceptance criteria:
• Verifiable facts, dates, and names
• Language pitched at a high-school reading level
• Storyline remains entirely non-fiction
If this sounds like your kind of project, let me know your proposed event and any prior samples that show your command of historical storytelling.
