I’m looking for a talented creative writer to turn my story idea into a full-length novel. This is a start-to-finish project: I’ll share the premise, key characters, and a rough plot arc, and I’d like you to expand it into an engaging manuscript with strong pacing, compelling dialogue, and vivid world-building. Here’s what I have in mind: • 70–90k words, broken into chapters that flow naturally. • A collaborative process—outline first, then incremental drafts so we can fine-tune tone, voice, and structure. • Two revision passes after the initial draft to polish language and close any plot holes. I’m flexible on genre; if you have a specialty or a concept you think fits the core idea, let’s talk. Experience ghostwriting or pub...

I have a finished 3-D Windows .exe game ready for the public and I’m looking for a publisher who can get it on a reputable digital storefront—Steam, Microsoft Store, or any other professional platform that sells Windows executables. I’ll provide the final build, artwork, trailer, and copy; you bring the know-how and the storefront access. What I expect from you is straightforward: use your account (or create one) to submit the game, handle any compliance or age-rating steps, set up the store page, and take it through to an approved, live listing. Experience launching titles on at least one major PC store is preferred; proof of previous releases or screenshots of your developer dashboard will help. Deliverables (acceptance criteria) • A live store page where the gam...

I'm looking for an experienced book editor to take my finished manuscript from good to publishable. The book: Think Like a Fisherman, Win Like an Entrepreneur. It is a business book built on true stories from my life: learning to read a lake beside my father as a boy in Iran, fishermen on the Sea of Oman, competitive water polo, and rebuilding as an entrepreneur in Canada.

I have a 256-page Microsoft Word manuscript for my book, “Lozen.” It must be transformed into two polished, KDP-ready editions: a print-ready paperback and a Kindle ebook.

The finished file should meet KDP’s bleed, margin, and embedded-font requirements so it can be uploaded without error.

I’m commissioning a full-length fantasy romance novel for young readers who shop the Amazon Kindle stores in the USA and EU. The story must unfold in a present-day, magic-infused city—think glittering skylines hiding secret covens and supernatural politics. At its heart is a relatable, slightly vulnerable heroine whose everyday struggles make her easy to root for even as she’s drawn into extraordinary events. Her primary arc spins around an enemies-to-lovers dynamic: the initial clash should crackle with tension, gradually giving way to deep emotional stakes and undeniable chemistry. World-building, character depth, snappy dialogue, and a satisfying romantic payoff are all essential. The completed manuscript has to be 100 % original, thoroughly edited, and formatted...

I am putting together a fun, animal-themed activity book for children aged 3-6 that I will publish on Kindle Direct Publishing.

Deliverables: • 30–40 page interior PDF, KDP-ready • Editable source file • Thumbnail mock-ups for listing imagery I’ll review midway with a small batch of pages to ensu...

I’m looking for an experienced self-help/personal-development book editor to help me complete the final editing, polishing, formatting, and publication of my upcoming book, The Real Love Diet: Love Yourself Into the Life You Want. About the Book The Real Love Diet is a self-help and personal-growth book about learning to live from love rather than fear, shame, resentment, old conditioning, or self-criticism. The central idea is simple: just as we become more conscious about what we feed our bodies, we can become conscious about what we feed our minds, hearts, relationships, and lives. This is not a traditional diet book. The “diet” is about what we emotionally, mentally, and spiritually consume—and what we choose to release. The book combines personal stories, ...

I have the core idea, main characters, and a handful of scenes for a romance book called “Strangers.” What I need now is a talented ghostwriter who can turn those raw notes into a full-length manuscript that keeps adult readers hooked from page one.

From there, we can move chapter by chapter, with check-ins for feedback and revisions along the way. When we reach “The End,” the deliverable should be a clean, professionally edited Word or Google Docs file ready for either querying agents or going straight into self-publishing. If you kno...

My nonfiction manuscript for an adult readership is ready for its final push to publication, and I need end-to-end support to make it bookstore-worthy. The book combines elements of comedy with mystery, featuring funny adult jokes and a touch of suspenseful intrigue. First, I want a meticulous round of editing and proofreading that tightens language, corrects grammar, and preserves my voice throughout.
