I'm developing a children's book series focused on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), starting with a story about a young girl named Sakina who finds a fallen star. Looking for a writer who can create a story-poem similar to the series "Train Your Dragon" in style - simple language, natural rhythm, and clear emotional teaching moments without forced rhymes.
PROJECT DETAILS:
First book in series about a character learning to process emotions
Target length: ~750 words
Style: Gentle teaching moments woven naturally into narrative
Theme: Understanding and processing new feelings
Age group: 4-10
MUST HAVE:
Experience writing children's literature, particularly in verse/poem format
Preferably an understanding of age-appropriate emotional learning concepts
Portfolio of similar work
Ability to maintain simple language while creating engaging narrative
Experience with non-forced rhyming patterns
Rate: $0.17/word (~$127.50 for complete manuscript)
PLEASE SHARE:
Your relevant experience with children's literature
2-3 samples of similar work
Brief description of your approach to writing for young audiences
Expected timeline for first draft
Note: This is part of a larger series focusing on emotional intelligence and cultural relevance. Long-term collaboration possible for the right writer.
