Ghostwriter Wanted – Speculative Thriller Novel (~100,000 words)

At its heart, this is a story about secrets, power, and the structures that confine us — both seen and unseen. I’m looking for a ghostwriter to help develop a speculative fiction novel with dystopian and thriller elements. I already have the core concept, themes, and direction, and I’d like to work with someone to shape it into a full outline and draft.

To fit my budget, I’d like the work spread out over time. I’m estimating the project will take 180–220 hours total, at a pace of around 5–8 hours per week. That puts the timeline at 9–12 months for a complete draft. My budget is around £15–£25 per hour, which works out to about £300–£600 per month. I’d prefer milestone-based payments tied to deliverables (e.g., outline, chapters, draft).

Book details-

Genre: Speculative / Dystopian Thriller
Length: Novel (~80,000–100,000 words, flexible)
Tone: Fast-paced, thought-provoking, with layered themes

Target market

Adult readers of dystopian, speculative, and conspiracy-style thrillers
