I’m looking for someone to write a short story (and possible series) in the ‘cozy mystery’ genre. The story series must be based on a strong theme and a well-developed character that readers can relate to. See here for possible themes: [login to view URL] There will be a lot of creative freedom given to you in this project to create your own plot or outline. You will need to be able to provide an engaging and entertaining murder mystery story that fulfils all the criteria of a cozy mystery. (If you’re not sure what this is, check out [login to view URL] ) The completed story should be 15,000 - 20,000 words, but you can do more! This is a good example of the kind of story by Constance Barker I’m after: [login to view URL] Ultimately, I do want to create a series of these books using the same characters so if this project goes well, there is the opportunity for further work together on the book series. I’m looking to move quickly with this project and I’m looking for a writer that can produce a first draft within 21 days of accepting the job. If the quality of you work is to a high standard, more work is guaranteed for a LONG time to come. IMPORTANT - This MUST be unique content and a unique story line. NO part of your story should be found ANYWHERE else. Not even on your own blogs or in other books, magazines, etc. YOUR name will not appear on the book. full ownership, royalties and rights stay with me If you think you can create what I’m after then please apply! I need to know three things - 1. Please send me a sample of your previous fiction work (bonus points if it is in the same category as the cozy mystery). 2. I also need you to include a 2-4 paragraph sales summary / description of your story, that teases/entices readers to buy. 3. What day can you get started? 4. How long do you thing you’ll need? Please reply with the words ‘Coconuts’ as your first two words when applying for this assignment. By applying/accepting this job you agree this is a WORK FOR HIRE situation. This is ghost-writing so you will own no rights to the work or parts of the work and you understand/agree your name will not appear anywhere on/in the work, nor can you share/sell/give away the work at any time. ****Please also attach a sample of your work in your reply to this message. Thank you for taking a look at this project and I look forward to developing a long lasting working relationship with you. Regards, Martin

First coconuts. To be honest I have the most experience writing in the romance genre but I enjoy writing in other genres as well. I'm not sure how to attach a file since I'm applying from my phone at the moment. A 20,000 word story usually takes me 4-7 days, sometimes less. I would really like to have the opportunity to work on this project. Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Sir or Madame, I am a two year old freelance author, who lives in Finland. I'm thirty-two year old former student, who lives near Helsinki. I graduated in 2007 from University of Helsinki with a diploma of candidate in dental medicine. Since then, I have done many part time jobs and worked as an online author. I sell my books in Amazon kindle store, where I use the artist's name "Doris White". I'm proficient in Finnish, English and Swedish. I'd like to do writing and translation jobs in all those three languages. My Computer skills are also advanced; I can use MS Word, Power Point, Outlook, and other programs as tools in my work. I can also create webpages/ sites and post them on the internet. I’m prepared to work for 40 hours per week/ full-time. My wish for salary is $10 per hour. The sample of my writing, which I attached along with the proposal, is titled The Girl With the White Hat. I have written several ebooks about fiction and non fiction in the past. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Jasmi Näsäkkälä
