I’m looking for a skilled storyteller to craft a page-turning science-fiction short story that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from the opening scene to the final twist. The piece should lean into a thrilling tone—high stakes, palpable tension, and a rapid pace—while still grounding the narrative in believable characters and robust world-building.
Here’s what I need:
• A complete short story (roughly 4,000–6,000 words) written in fluent, engaging English.
• A vivid futuristic setting with clear internal logic—technology, culture, and environment should feel fresh yet plausible.
• A compelling plot arc: sharp inciting incident, escalating conflict, and an unforgettable climax.
• Well-rounded characters whose motivations drive the suspense.
• A concise, spoiler-free one-paragraph synopsis to accompany the final manuscript.
• Up to two rounds of revisions so the pacing, tone, and thematic depth land just right.
I’m happy to share a few seed ideas or let you propose original concepts; either way, I’ll be responsive with feedback throughout drafting and revision. Include one sample of previous science-fiction or thriller writing in your proposal so I can get a feel for your voice. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right creative partner—let’s build a gripping future together.
