I’m building a campaign that draws young-adult readers into a dark, gothic world and then guides them naturally toward our brand. To make this work, I need an imaginative writer who thrives on atmospheric scares rather than gore. Scope • Three short novels (10–15 k words each) with interlinked settings and recurring motifs that keep readers hungry for the next installment. • Five companion articles or blog posts (800–1 000 words each) that tease plot points, explore lore, or profile key characters while subtly weaving in brand messages and clear calls-to-action. • A concise pitch deck or synopsis for each novel outlining theme, character arcs, and marketing hooks—useful for social snippets, trailers, and influencer briefs. Style & Audience The voice must stay firmly in gothic territory—haunting imagery, creeping dread, and an undercurrent of romance or melancholy that resonates with young adults. Think shadow-soaked castles, whispered secrets, and moral ambiguity rather than slasher-style bloodshed. Marketing Focus Every chapter and article should contain strategic “soft-sell” moments: product mentions, thematic parallels, or cliff-hanger endings that drive readers toward our landing pages. Familiarity with content marketing, SEO keyword placement, and basic funnel strategy will help you frame these touches organically. Deliverables & Timeline 1. Detailed outlines for all three novels and the five articles. 2. First full draft of Novel 1 plus its companion article. 3. Revisions (two rounds) incorporating my feedback. 4. Remaining novels and articles delivered in agreed milestones, proofread and ready for upload. Tools & Format Write in Google Docs (track changes on), run a final Grammarly pass, and supply all pieces in both .docx and clean PDF. If you storyboard in Scrivener or similar, great—just export the final text. Acceptance Criteria • Atmospheric tone consistent throughout. • Brand references integrated smoothly, never forced. • No plagiarism; originality verified. • Manuscripts free of grammatical errors and formatted for easy e-publishing. If crafting immersive gothic tales that also drive conversions sounds thrilling, let’s collaborate and set these shadows loose.
