PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE BIDDING! First, thank you for looking. This project is a bit different than most. I am an aspiring novelist who has been working on a project for over a year and has now determined that he can go no further without help. This is not a writing project, though it would be a bonus to connect with someone who has already completed a first draft and has working knowledge of novel structure and construction. This project is really designed to help get my story from point A to Z. I have approximately 45k words written but have some plot holes and major sections that are not yet realized. Also, it lacks some great plot twists. This person should be HIGHLY creative, think outside the box, and have the ability to clearly articulate ideas. We can work on an hourly or milestone basis. A brief synopsis of the novel is below. Thank you. Months after the suicide of her daughter Amy, Maggie Montgomery still cannot pick herself up from a tragedy that no one can seem to explain. Michael has left her and friends struggle to find new ways to offer comfort. Then, unexpectedly, Maggie receives a package suggesting that there may be more to Amy’s death than she knows. Within the contents is a rental agreement, a key to the house their family stayed in last summer and note. Determined to find closure, Maggie returns to Essex, Maine, a small seaside community where she meets Garrett, a local bookstore owner and his daughter Haley, an autistic savant who serendipitously befriended Amy last summer and who might offer insight into Amy’s death. However, Maggie quickly learns that Haley possesses a language all her own and that understanding it will not only take patience and understanding but perseverance. The World I Briefly Knew is a delicate novel that not only searches for truth but also asks difficult questions about morality, intent, and the choices people make for the ones they love.

Hello, My name is Isabel Castro. I’ve completed many lengthy first drafts and understand the struggles of making one coherent and interesting to readers. I’d love to help you in that process! Not only is the premise of your novel riveting, but I appreciate your incorporation of diverse and multifaceted characters. Haley’s language is difficult to learn, AND she is the one who can provide perceived closure for Maggie; this infuses the relationship with a deeply human purpose. I have a family member who is also an “autistic savant” and am thus equipped to deal with the portrayal of Haley’s autism. I’ve also experienced a loved one attempting suicide and can provide insight into the complexity of Maggie’s emotions as she operates under the belief - whether true or false - that her daughter took her own life. I’ll help fill the logical and suspense-related holes in your novel and also help flesh out its emotional aspects. If built upon, the implied heartache in your synopsis may be the ultimate appeal: the soul-stirring exploration of “morality, intent, and the choices people make for the ones they love.” I’m an old hand at writing and editing, and I’d truly enjoy the chance to help you fully realize your novel - regardless of which direction it takes. I do have an advanced grasp of novel structure and construction, and I certainly hope I possess the creativity you’re looking for! Thank you for this opportunity. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! Isabel C

Hi there! The quote is a placeholder. I'd like to offer my ghostwriting skills and experience in structuring, polishing the novels. Currently, I've completed various fiction projects for international authors who then published them on Amazon or various sources. My works required the minimum post-work, therefore, I was rehired multiple times. My main genres that I create mind-blowing twists are all types of fantasy, psychological thrillers, dramas and horrors. So that's why I think your project fits my skills and experience. I'd love to work with you on the milestone basis and discuss more details over the chat. Have a nice day and thank you for your patience.

Hi There, I am the perfect person for this project. As a fellow writer who has written several stories, I understand the help that you need to complete your novel further. I would love to be able to read your 45k draft, and help fill in any blanks, or suggest any plot twists that you could later implement into your story. I completely understand the sense of pride you must have for your work (and reading the bio, I assure you, you should be) and I would love to help contribute to it, enhancing it further, but only in your style. As you so elegantly phrased, this is less of an edit, and more guiding it from A-Z. I have been writing stories, short stories and poems for over 9 years now, and I've always received positive feedback for my work. I achieved over 90% in English during my GCSEs, an 'A' at A-Levels, and I am currently studying Creative and Professional Writing at University. My ongoing learning of this, allows me to help structure your novel, and what the current market seeks for in novels. Furthermore, I am an absolute bookworm and read a large variety from Manga, to classics, to young adults, to thriller, and have been for over 11 years now. About your novel, I have suffered from suicidal thoughts, and depression to a large extent in my life, and hence I can really connect with your character Amy, and how everything is not as straightforward as it may seem. Please get in touch soon, so we can discuss details, Thank You.

Dear sir or madam, Here are 2 reasons to hire me: 1- I am an intuitive introvert that LOVES to write! Writing is not only what I do for a living, but it is also my passion. I mostly write blogs, and if you want to, I can share some of the articles I wrote and were published on other websites. 2- I do not write an article unless it is high quality and I will make sure it satisfies you fully! I strive to make my articles 100% high quality. Grammar, text's originality, and SEO are of course, always on point. Also, check my profile to read my previous clients’ feedback and get a feel of what I am capable of. I would love to work with you and if you think I am the web content writer you are looking for, let's chat! Kind regards, Najwa

It's what I do -- as a professional ghost writer with the emphasis on plot arc and development. I'm a freelance editor and award-winning novelist ("After the Eclipse") with a dozen books behind me, not all under my own name. During 12 years as fiction editor at DRUM, I selected and edited some 600 short stories. Since May last year I have written four books for separate publishers under non-disclosure agreements: a YA high school cyberbullying novel (see my Freelancer reviews), a cozy, a fantasy and a jungle thriller. I think your beginnings are intriguing, and it would be an interesting project to work on. I could give you plenty of tips on a four-act structure book-ended by a hook and a wrap, and come up with an outline you could follow. If you're a wandering pantser, you need a plotter! Let's chat . . .

Hi, I am an American writer who currently lives in Turkey If I had to state my greatest strength, it would have to be my creativity. Throughout my journey as a writer, I've come up with many original and unprecedented plots (mostly sci-fi and thriller). My physics major especially helps me to come up with sci-fi scenarios. So, if you want never-ending creativity, it would be wise to consider hiring me. I have taken classes on how novel construction works, how to set your promises and realize them, how to keep the progress flowing and adding info dump without boring the reader, how to set character arcs, and etc. I also have a fairly strong grasp on diverting the story, then adding reasonable twists that add fuel to the fire of thrill and suspense. It keeps the story alive and keeps the pages turning. Consumption of literature also helps a great deal when writing mystery. Which is why I can notice and fix any 'played out' or 'cliche' points happening in your plot. I can assure the level of predictability of your novel becomes just enough, and not too much. In short: I can help you fill the plotholes, make twists or even write whole chapters. I can send you samples of my previous work if you decide to get in touch. After that, if I'm still in consideration, we can discuss the specifics. I'm looking forward to working with you.
