I’m looking for a talented wordsmith to craft an original piece of creative writing for a young–adult audience. The focus is storytelling that feels fresh, relatable, and immersive—think believable characters, lively dialogue, and a clear emotional arc that keeps readers hooked from the first line. Scope • One complete story or narrative-driven text (short story, chapter, or similar) in the 1,500–3,000-word range. • Engaging opening, well-paced middle, and satisfying conclusion. • Language, tone, and themes must resonate with readers aged roughly 16–25—contemporary voice, no heavy slang, inclusive and authentic. • Final file delivered in an editable format (Google Doc or Word). Workflow 1. Share a brief outline or concept so we’re aligned on direction. 2. Draft submission for my review and comments. 3. Final polish incorporating feedback, ready for publication or further adaptation. I value clear communication and quick turnaround. If you have previous samples aimed at young adults, please attach them—strong narrative voice and originality are what matter most. Looking forward to collaborating and bringing a fresh story to life!
