The story is titled 'Indian Joe and the Night Stalker' Logline: An 8-year old boy sets out on a courageous adventure into the dark woods to find the missing children that have been captured by the night stalker, his his guide and protector is the mysterious Indian Joe. The book is currently about 15 pages in a word document and my goal is to do accomplish the following with your help: • Improve the story line • Tighten the actions and flow • Maintain the tone that is established • Create something fun yet eery meant to be read by 6 to 10 year olds This story will also be accompanies by drawings that I will hire an artist to execute. I have a lot of fun with this story and it was inspired by bedtime stories I used to tell my children about a real life Native American that lived in the woods near my home as a child. Let me know if you are interested, this could be a lot of fun.

Hello, I am experienced children eBook writer, I have written plenty of bed time stories for children and I am sure, I can do the job for you. Please check out my work samples: Simon and Kate really enjoy their visits with Grandma because she always makes them smile with joy. Simon and Kate have been missing Grandma because she's in the hospital and mum says she needs to rest. Today is an exciting day because the kids get to visit grandma in the hospital for the very first time. Simon and Kate always wanted to go to the great big hospital with huge windows and elevators that go all the way up. They knew that Grandma would especially need the elevators because she was always sleepy and tired lately. Once they arrived to grandma's hospital room, Simon and Kate were fascinated by the many balloons and flowers that were in their grandmother's room. The children quickly began to wonder if perhaps grandma didn't care for the flowers or balloons because she simply gazed out of the window. Their mother explained to them that grandma could feel the love that the flowers and balloons brought to her room but she was dreaming of a much happier place. The children became eagerly curious to learn what place could bring more joy than one filled with beautiful balloons and vibrant flowers. Their mother snuggled them closely into her arms and gazed deep into their eyes and whispered, "Heaven". Simon and Kate became even more excited as they imagined their grandmother in a place fi

Hi there, I am new to freelancer, but have lots of experience in writing stories, have been doing it ever since I was a child. I grew up in Moscow, Russia to bi-cultural parents, so have always had a vivid imagination based upon stories from different cultures. Now as an adult, I often send stories to my nieces and godchildren in the age group that you are asking for. Your project sounds like so much fun, and I know that I am new to the site, but I guarantee that well get this done on time and am always happy to Skype or chat about things that need to be changed or tweaked. My day job involves a lot of technical writing and creating copy for look books, so I am very skilled in keeping a storyline and tightening up text so that it flows well with the overall theme. I'd love to be given the chance to do this with you, please feel free to message me with more information!

Hi, I was working on a project recently where I had to 'convert' a poem into a children's story. The employer's preferred writing style was more of a poetic one. Here's a sample of my writing: The night was cold and dreary, barren of life. Then, without warning, the darkness was accompanied by the sound of hurrying feet; pitter-patter, pitter-patter it went. It was ten-year-old Asif who had broken the silence. A strange sight it made to some; a boy outside the warm hearth of home in the dead of night. Yet, to Asif, it made perfect sense. Words had carried him far from his warm bed. Words that had cut him to the bone. It was the heated exchange of words at home that weighed heavy on his mind as he slowly trudged through the dark with feet that had begun to ache. Seeking shelter, a place to lay his tired head, he caught sight of a lush, green forest. Weary-eyed, he plodded through tangles of bushes, boots caked with mud, only to pause for breath near an old tree. If you're interested to work with me, I'd prefer you to send over one page from the project so I can work on it and you can see if it's something you like. If it is, then we can work on it from there and discuss further details. Cheers.
