$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery
I am writing a children's book. Its my first attempt, and I need help from a ghost writer to 1) Edit the text I write and make it better 2) Enhance my ideas to expand them further 3) given the basic ideas about the story, create text for the story. I am looking for people who have worked with children's fiction writing before. Also I should be able to communicate with you regularly to explain my ideas. I can do this project as fixed price or hourly but I will prefer fixed price. To give an idea of work involved you should consider as if you have to write a 15k words book for children with my ideas. This is the worst case scenario though, as a lot of text is and will be written by me but cleared up/expanded on and edited by you. Please send some sample writing with your bid

Children stories need to be fun and entertaining and at the same time they should teach a lesson or two. I have the creativity and writing skills to help you in your project.

Good day, I am a PUBLISHED writer of fiction novels, i have a novel published by a NY Publisher. A fact you can easily check by just 'Googling' my name or checking on Amazon or Twitter. I also have several books finished as Ghostwriter (two of them children ebooks for age 8-12 and 12-15). My bid is based on working all the way until finishing the whole book as you required. I am in the writing world from over six years so i think i have the needed experience and interest to work over your project. I am sending you just a small sample in the PM, it is not children's topic but will give you an idea of my writing skills. I am ready to give 100% commitment working over your project, so if you think i am a suitable candidate don't hesitate to contact me. If not, wishing you to find the best freelancer for your project.

I'm the author of published YA fiction, including the novel November Knight, published in print by Pfoxmoor Publishing. I set my bid at the top of your price range because vivid, concise, rising-off-the-page writing by a professional author is worth it. I live and breath the five points of story construction that powers the best children's, MG, and YA fiction. A sample of my writing, from a recent Freelancer project, is in the private message. I sincerely hope you consider me for this project.

Although new to this website, I am not new to the freelance arena. I have over 100 published articles and I, too, am in the process of writing a childrens book. I understand the nuances and creativity that is crucial to writing childrens books. I can do this with you from the point of view of doing the same type of work. I think it will be rewarding and a learning experience for the both of us. I am however, an excellent editor and proofreader. I will attach the forward to my own book. Please keep it in confidence.
