About this Gig
Turn Your Story Ideas Into a Real Short Book - Fun for Kids & Seniors!
Do you have a child, senior, or loved one who is full of story ideas, but struggles to write them down? I'll help turn those ideas into a polished, short book through relaxed Google Meet sessions. You talk, I write & help shape the story. The result is a real book they can be proud of. This is collaborative ghostwriting made enjoyable & low-pressure, created especially for kids & seniors.
Perfect as a Unique Gift
Whether it's a special gift for a grandchild, a meaningful project for a parent or grandparent, or simply a fun, creative activity, this service creates something lasting & personal.
Why Work With Me?
I'm a published author of 9 novels with 23+ years of teaching experience, including running writing clubs. I have experience with both children & seniors, plus full publishing knowledge of Amazon KDP. I started this gig after helping my 81-year-old mom turn her ideas into her first cozy mystery book, which showed me how meaningful & joyful the process is.
I don't just write for you: I work WITH you to capture the real heart & voice of the story.
Message me and let's talk about your story idea!
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
My Portfolio
FAQ
How does the process work?
We’ll have Google Meet sessions where you share your story ideas. I’ll then write the book based on our conversations. You’ll receive drafts for feedback.
How many Google Meet sessions are included?
The number of sessions depends on the package you choose. Additional sessions can be added as an extra if needed.
Do I need to have the full story figured out before we start?
Not at all. Many clients only have a general idea or a few characters in mind. We’ll develop the story together during our sessions.
How many revisions are included?
Since I provide feedback every step of the way, additional revision rounds are available as an add-on.
Will you write explicit content?
No
My novel is unpublished. Will anyone else read it?
Your work will never be shared with anyone other than myself. I will retain your story for thirty days after your gig is done in case you wish to revise the story and hire me again. Your intellectual property is safe with me.
Will you line edit or proofread my work while you beta read?
The story will be proofread before you receive the final copy. Any additional rounds of editing can be purchased for an additional fee.
Do you use AI to write the books?
No, all writing is done by me. This is 100% human-written based on our conversations.
Will you do heavy research for historical accuracy or technical details?
Light research is included if needed. For extensive or specialized research, you must provide the notes in writing.
Who owns the final book?
You own full rights to the finished book once the project is complete and paid for. If the project is not paid for in full, I retain all rights to the book until it is.
