I need a ghostwriter for my fantasy/sci-fi graphic novel

$3000-5000 USD

$3000-5000 USD

Paid on delivery
I'm a professional comic book artist who is looking to produce my first graphic novel based on a story I've had in my head for years. It's a dark sci-fi/fantasy adventure with shades of Conan the Barbarian and John Carter of Mars. Script-writing isn't exactly my forte so I need a ghostwriter who can weave together my ideas into a compelling narrative with strong dialogue and characterization. If you think you're the one for the job, please submit your proposal with examples of your previous writing (needs to be something you've written in the past 5 years). Also tell me who your favorite writers/books/major influences are. Preferably you are local to the LA area but it's not required. Talent and skill are the most important.

Hi, I am an experienced writer for RPG and gaming material, mostly fantasy and horror. Message me for samples of my work. I'm well read re: Conan and contemporary stories, especially those of HP Lovecraft, William Hodgson, Clark Aston Smith, and Fritz Leiber. I'm a big fan of the recent Prophet comic series, which is thematically similar to JC of Mars. My favorite fantasy authors also include Robert Holdstock, JRR Tolkien, and M. John Harrison. I live outside Phoenix now, but I've lived all over LA and I get back at least a couple times a year to visit. Best, Chris

Hi there. I'd love to do this for you. In terms of why I'm the strongest candidate, I have a degree in Creative Writing and have previously written fantasy and science fiction novels and novellas - including Song of Swords: Broken Worlds, which is currently being sold on Amazon (see extract in the Portfolio section of my Profile on this site - a larger sample is available on request). In addition to this, I have recently written screenplays for two visual novels which have now been released on the Moments: Choose Your Story app for Android and iOS devices; "Of Lovers Past" (over 228,000 Favourites so far) & "Vampire Queen" (over 70k Favourites from the first eight chapters). I love fantasy fiction, such as Fritz Leiber's Swords series and the Dragon Lance novels. The Witcher short stories were also fun. In terms of graphic novels, I read a wide range of them, running the gamult from Fables to The Boys. I own and love Frank Miller's 300. Please divide the milestone payment for the first graphic novel into five parts. Did you have a deadline in mind for this? If the first one goes well, I'd be happy to write more for you. How long do you envisage each graphic novel to be? If you have any question, just ask. All the best.

Hi, I am an avid reader and some of my favorite authors are JK Rowling (Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter) owing to imagination and weaving the dark with common so that it is believable, and Clive Cussler owing to the in-depth research he conducts for each of his novels. I have edited and proofread a number of novels, and have written mostly children's stories. Do let me know if I am the right fit for this, thanks, regards, Vinita.

In a way, I'm absolutely jealous that you're taking your gift and seeing it through. I found out, rather late in life, that I had a hidden talent for art/painting. Unfortunately I was not brave enough to dedicate 100% of my time in order to see it flourish. I'm sure you have received many impressive proposals, on paper, at least. Here's why you need to work with me: this is your baby. You need a writer who can immerse themselves in your headspace, unafraid to explore anything and everything. You need raw passion that sets your comic apart, why settle for a good writer when you can have a great one? I'm studying law purely to save the planet from companies like Monsanto - in a way, my desire to live out the superhero fantasy will take place in a courtroom without the fancy garb. My favourite author is probably Michael Crichton, there's something terrifying about the way he weaves himself into your life. I could say Asimov or Wells but, hands down, Crichton's work does not require intense focus to understand the story, and there're no airs or graces (bullshit basically) surrounding his manuscripts. Send me a sample page from anything you've doodle for fun, I'll write the dialogue, you can determine if I'm your writer or not. I look forward to hearing from you. Fatimah

Hi. I am an author and proofreader, and I would be interested in finding out more about this project. I write sci-fi novels (science-fantasy, space opera, sci-fi thriller, and a bit of post-apocalyptic) and I actually work with a comic writer and publisher. I mainly proofread their comics, but I have done some writing for them too. With your permission, I could even run things by them as part of this if you wanted. If you search Amazon for 'Acts of Violence' by Ross Harrison, you will see my books (and how bad I am at marketing). My favourite authors are Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Peter F Hamilton, Ian M Banks, Lee Child. In terms of comics, I'll read anything that Jim Lee has done the art for (honestly, I base what comics I read on the art first). I can't stand Frank Miller. On my side of things, to know if I would be a good fit for this, I would need to know a bit more about your idea and how far you are (scribbled notes, a rough draft, etc.) and some details about things such as tone, what quantity of text you are looking for (V for Vendetta or Garfield), how long you want the graphic novel to be, etc. Whatever you think I need to know. Lastly, just to be thorough, in my milestones, I'll ask for $333 upfront. This will both cover the obnoxious fee Freelancer will immediately charge me, and will be a kind of a show of good faith (unfortunately, the more someone offers on here, the more likely they are to have no intention of paying, in my experience). Thank you

Hi! From the description of this project, it sounds that we have similar taste with our stories, even though the main story I'm writing right now is a bit more urban fantasy. I'll be happy to send you some samples and really look forward to this story! -Alex

I'm well-versed with the culture of Los Angeles, given that I lived there for the past seven years when I was employed at Warner Brothers. The bottom line is that excellence will be recognized, whether it comes from one with an Ivy League background or not. I currently have a pilot that I created in development with a small production company based in LA. I don't know if it will ever be produced, but most writers exist on the edge like this. If you hire me, I would like a 10% milestone upfront to cover the fee that Freelancer charges. I am an American expat living in The Netherlands, but I am more than willing to adapt my schedule to fit yours for Skype sessions. I have been involved in collaborative projects before involving multiple writers in which we used a combination of Skype and WriterDuet (both are free) to do line-edits in real time. A few years ago, a small production company selected me to adapt a graphic novel into a screenplay. The graphic novel was called Jeremiah Harm. The deal fell through and I assume it is stuck in development hell. More and more it seems that people from the outside (no Ivy League or Big Three film school connections) are forced to produce their own work fast, great and cheap. I'm fast and cheap. I don't know if I'm great. But I'm knocking on the door. Best of Luck, Paul

Hello! I learned you are looking for a ghostwriter to write your sci-fi/fantasy comic. I would like to offer the best of my talent and energy into this project. Do you know Douglas Adams? the author of the hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy. You are looking at his number one fan—oh yeah. And I am still searching for the meaning of life. Pls, feel free to reach out to me. All the best, Matthew P.
