(American/UK Writers only need apply. Must have fiction samples, preferably YA or MG) Hello all you writers! I began writing a YA fiction novel this past year after a TV script & treatment of mine spiked some interest from publishers who wanted to see the idea fleshed out into a full novel. The story centers on Jake, a high schooler helping his mother care for his three younger siblings. Jake discovers a mysterious device left behind after the passing of his Great Aunt Rita that allows him to travel through time and sets the stage for this exciting book. I've hit a wall about 5 chapters into the book and need either a co-author to split revenues and ownership with me on this book, or if you'd prefer upfront payment as a ghostwriter we could go about it that way. Keep in mind my budget is small for this project so I would like to think there are talented writers out there looking to make a name for themselves in children's fiction that would want to partner on a project like this in hopes of publication next year and possibly work on this if it evolves into a television project as well. I've attached an excerpt and early artwork for the TV show I was in early talks to produce. Thanks! Joe

Hi jinabinett, I enjoyed reading your sample excerpt from My Aunt The Time Traveler and am making contact in the first instance to see if you might find me suitable as a co-author. Please have a look at my portfolio and see what you think. I haven't written any YA novels before, but am pretty certain I could. I am also interested in the possibility of the TV series as scriptwriting is a passion of mine and I would be very keen indeed to be part of any development along those lines. I have placed a monetary bid, but I might be up for your suggestion of partnering. First things first though,so if you like my writing style and feel I might make a worthy co-author, then I would be delighted to hear from you. Yours, Mitch

Hi Joe, I'm interested in helping you with your project. My bid is flexible, as is the time frame, depending upon how we might agree to work on this project, whether as a split or upfront payment. I've read your sample and I find the idea very interesting. The sample you sent does need a bit of polish though...your epilogue should actually be called a prologue, as those come first in a story; epilogues come last. There are grammar and punctuation issues and your use of present tense is a bit jarring. Most first person POV stories aren't also written in present tense. But that's all things I can help you with, along with developing the rest of the story. The main focus of my writing as been paranormal romance, but I'm confident YA fantasy is something I can handle. A few questions...what's the current word count and your expected word count? I look forward to hearing from you. Carol McKenzie

I'm going to be blunt with you - your story needs a lot of work. I don't say that to be mean or judgmental - it's just the truth. That said, if you want to have a story that is going to truly capture the attention of the YA audience, I'd be glad to help you get there. I am currently finishing the final copy of the first book of a YA trilogy for another client - we won't start book two for a couple of months, so I have time to work on another project. I'm a ghostwriter -- that's how I make my living. I do some work that is published under my own name, but most of my work is writing for others. My bid is for rewriting the first five chapters that you have done. You have an interesting idea, but the grammar is marginal, the dialogue lacking, and characters are undeveloped. I can change that. If you want to continue after those first five chapters are complete, we can discuss that at that time. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your project in detail.

I am a retired teacher/administrator and have written six books and several stories. I have written for all ages. I have a website with stories for all ages under appropriate tabs. I do not want to be a partner. Instead of a ghostwriter, why don't you consider a mentor? I would be glad to mentor you and bounce ideas off. I could help you get over your 'wall' and then you could finish the book. I would ask for the payment for my time and a special mention in the book. This way you could get more ideas for your book and not have to share the credit for writing. Thanks for considering my offer, Theresa3953

Hello! I'm just coming off the publication of my first book "The Ethics Of Dragon Slaying." Currently I'm working on writing a YA novel of my own but I would be thrilled to come together with you on this project as I am in love with the premise. It can be a tough go, two writers working together, particularly if their writing styles vary too greatly. But I believe I am up for the challenge! Please feel free to message me for more details and samples of my work! I look forward to hearing from you!

After reading what you've written thus far, I can tell you that I am VERY interested in where this might be going, and I can clearly see the chance for some very heart-touching moments. That said, I'd love to work on this book with you as a co-author. My writing style differs in the fact that my scenes are generally longer and much more detailed, but the way that we both go about the subjects of curiosity and human nature are pretty much the same. And I can also see how this could very easily become a tv show. If you're interested in working together, and getting some writing samples from me so you can see how I work, I can easily be reached with Freelancer's Private Message system. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Cheers!

I know I am new to freelancer, I know my portfolio is not up yet but I feel we would click. I am working on my own first novel (I have been published a few times but nothing so big, yet). I understand the challenges and the budget constraints. This makes me uniquely qualified for this project both as a novelist at the beginning of my career but also as a young adult myself. I hope we can work together.

Hello jinabinett! I have to begin by saying, "Very nice!" I read your attachment and I am impressed by your idea! I have been writing on and off for most of my life, mostly short stories that never made publication mainly because they were for role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. If you are unfamiliar with those types of games, usually there is a person/ narrator that gives the setting and what the characters sense...in essence they paint a picture with words. I love writing and I am certain we would be a good team (you in the lead of course) to open the imaginations of today's young adults. I have no examples of my work and no portfolio to speak of in this field; However, I am not beyond giving you an example if you request it. So, please feel free to contact me at this site with any requests or questions. Thank you for your time and consideration, Roger Tyras
