I’m seeking a talented ghostwriter with experience in steamy contemporary and dark romance genres to collaborate on a project featuring a strong, dynamic female main character (FMC) and layered thriller/crime subplots. The project takes inspiration from a combination of sophisticated, suspenseful storytelling and an intense, mature sci-fi audio drama with bold themes. – Experience writing for audio formats such as audiobooks or podcasts is a plus but not required.
Project Scope and Milestones:
Milestone 1:
Research two reference works (a suspenseful novel and a mature, action-packed sci-fi audio drama) as inspiration. Using these influences, propose three unique story outlines:
One closely aligned with the tone and structure of the suspenseful narrative.
One or two incorporating bold, high-stakes elements inspired by the audio drama.
Milestone 2:
Write the first 3,000 words based on the selected outline.
Milestone 3:
Deliver a polished ~6,000-word draft with revisions.
Requirements:
Proven experience in steamy contemporary or dark romance genres.
Ability to craft compelling FMCs with strong thriller/crime elements.
Willingness to sign a ghostwriting agreement that includes:
Transfer of all rights (ownership and copyright) to me upon completion.
Confidentiality and nondisclosure terms.
Familiarity with writing for audio formats (audiobooks or podcasts) is a bonus—please share relevant samples if applicable.
What I Need From You:
Confirmation that you’re comfortable working as a ghostwriter under these terms.
Confirmation that you’re comfortable working with mature themes and content.
A quote for each milestone.
Proposed timeline for completing each milestone.
Writing samples showcasing your expertise in similar genres.
