Description: This is a project to turn a 2 hour audio drama into a novel. Approx 90,000 words. Must be in English (preferably British-English but not required). You will not only follow the events of the audio drama, but expand upon them and create additional events, characters, etc that do not appear in the audio drama. Like movie adaptions of books, books always contain material not presented in the movie. This is what we want here as well.

A novel was attempted a number of years ago, but was aborted due to very poor quality by the original author. (Hence the reason for going the audio drama route.) The novel was half finished and you will be provided the novel for reference. (It is a requirement that you do not laugh hysterically at the poor quality.) It will show you what we mean by providing more detail than the audio drama. There is an entire chapter that was cut from the audio drama because what can be written in a book does not necessarily translate well to a different medium.


Must have experience writing fiction. Samples are greatly appreciated.

Story involves tigers, India, hunters, that sort of stuff so you must be able to familiarise yourself with those topics.

You will only be writing the first draft. Further editing will be done in-house.

Must sign non-disclosure agreement. SERIOUS penalties for violating agreement. So be sure you are comfortable with getting no credit.

Please post any questions. If you have a question, likely 10 other people have the same question.

I have also undertaken several ghost-writing and editing jobs for other people and I have completed the internationally renowned Chapterhouse editing and proofreading course. Please see an example of my novel in PMB, but U can adapt my style to fit in with what you wis for your own work.

Hey, I have a lot of experience with screenplays and prose writing and am known for the beauty of my descriptions and depth of characters. The vast majority of the people on here will know very little about the art of fiction or the novel - I study English Literature at University level and have a talent for it. I can write to any style and would need a few in depth discussions with you beforehand in order to ascertain exactly what you want. However, I am a gifted and creative young writer who will work hard to produce a well-written novel with you. Thanks, James.

My bid includes re-reading the poorly written portion of the novel in question and re-writing into a clear and creative work. In addition, "ghosting" the remainder of the novel and writing along the same guidelines. I am not discouraged that I cannont claim credit for this work as I consider it more of an editing assignment (if you will) coupled with the process of rewriting. I think the improvement, if the quality is as poor as you say, will be reward in and of itself; therefore, no personal credit need to be afforded to the writer. I have considered your budget and though I've specified the low-end, I'm still negotiable. Thank you for considering my bid and look forward to your reply through this forum. Sincerely, Dawn Michel P.S. I have performed quite a bit of professional article writing using various pen names such as Madison Bright, Mendall Bruce and so forth; however, this name: Dawn Michel is the real deal and in relation to the above project I have provided you with samples from previous projects. You will find the attachment of my articles posted to the message board. Also, today I am incurring a bit of technical difficulty with my email provider; however, it is a national provider so I don't expect the trouble to be long-term. I mention this as I am diligent in replying to any GAF correspondence as soon as possible so if I am hampered you will be well-advised of the current snafu. Again, thank you for your time in the consideration of my bid. Sincerely, Dawn Michel

Check out my writing skills by reading previews of my 8 novels I have published and which are available at lulu.com . The one Star Wars in the Pacific retitled The Missing Black Box was the fiction novel. Go to my storefront at http://lulu.com/tjmcgoldrick7 Your task sounds interesting. One of my editing skills is the detection of gaps in logic followed by the ability to figure out what should be inserted to fill the gap. It is often not what is in the writing that is wrong. Rather, it is what is missing (other than the intended gaps to spur on the intent reader with mystery). Thanks and contact me. Send me a sample chapter for trial rewrite if you desire.

I love British popular culture and have a knack for translating that fascination into the medium I love most--writing. My style of writing is upbeat and modern. My favorite English essayist and author is Nick Hornby. I have no problem with imagination, I have lots in store.
