I’m commissioning an original mystery short story written specifically for a young adult audience. The plot should move quickly, center on relatable teens, scatter fair-play clues, and end with a satisfying reveal that still surprises. Feel free to set the tale in a small town, elite academy, or another creative backdrop—as long as the tone and themes stay age-appropriate. Deliverables • Complete short-story manuscript in an editable file (DOCX or Google Doc) • Two-sentence teaser and one-line logline Acceptance Criteria • 100 % original content (plagiarism-free) • Clear three-act arc: engaging hook, rising tension, memorable twist, decisive resolution • Language, situations, and stakes suitable for readers aged 13–18 • One revision round after my feedback Pitch me your protagonist and core mystery in a quick paragraph so I can approve the concept before you draft. I’m excited to see what twists you have up your sleeve!
