I’m putting together a two-tier publishing plan and need a single writer (or a well-coordinated team) to handle every word. The brief is straightforward:
First, I need ten children’s picture-story books, each running about twenty illustrated pages. The tone has to be playful and age-appropriate, but I don’t want the language oversimplified to the point of losing charm—think read-aloud bedtime favourites that adults won’t mind revisiting.
Second, I need ten full-length fiction titles of roughly 150 manuscript pages apiece. These can share a common universe or stand alone; I’m open to pitches on genre so long as the storytelling remains engaging and commercially viable.
Both lines should feel related through voice, yet there must be subtle shifts in vocabulary, pacing, and thematic depth—minor adjustments rather than two completely separate personas.
Deliverables
• Manuscript files (Word or Google Docs) for each of the 20 books
• A short, enticing back-cover blurb and logline for every title
• Simple chapter/book outlines for approval before drafting begins
• Final text proofread and ready for layout
Once we agree on the outlines, we’ll set milestone submissions to keep the workflow smooth. If you can balance imaginative children’s prose with compelling longer fiction, I’d love to read a relevant sample and hear your concept ideas.
