Hindi-English Mystery Shorts

I am commissioning a set of mystery short stories that captivate a young-adult readership in both Hindi and English. Each piece should be pacey, suspense-driven, and wrapped up within the classic short-story length—think tight structure rather than sprawling novel.

Your task is to craft original plots, build relatable twenty-something protagonists, seed enough red herrings to keep readers guessing, and deliver polished manuscripts ready for publication. I am open to a single bilingual story told twice (one Hindi, one English version) or two completely different tales; whichever approach lets the mystery land strongest in each language.

Please share a concise outline of the story (or stories) you propose, along with a timeline for drafting, revisions, and final delivery in Word or Google Docs. If you have portfolio pieces that show previous mystery work—or any romance or sci-fi examples that demonstrate range—feel free to link them so I can gauge tone and voice.

Final acceptance hinges on:
• A compelling, original mystery that resolves believably
• Language appropriate for young-adult readers—fresh yet clear
• Clean copy requiring minimal proofing

I look forward to seeing how you twist the clues and raise the stakes in both Hindi and English.
