About the Role

A creative publishing company is seeking a talented and imaginative writer to help develop a suite of personalised children’s books. This collection will launch with approximately 10 books, covering themes such as family values, life milestones, inclusivity, and diversity. The target age group varies from 1 to 10 years old, with younger books focusing more on family-oriented content. Each book will allow children to personalise elements, such as character appearance and text, creating a unique reading experience for each child.

The writer will be responsible for workshopping ideas with the creative team and transforming them into beautifully written stories with word counts between 300-800 words, depending on the age group. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful and impactful children's literature.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with the creative team to brainstorm and workshop ideas for a suite of 10+ personalised children’s books.
• Write engaging, age-appropriate stories that cover themes of family, milestones, inclusivity, and diversity, tailored to children aged 1-10 years.
• Ensure each story allows for personalisation, including character appearance and customised text elements, while maintaining a coherent and engaging narrative.

Requirements

• Proven experience in writing for children, preferably with a portfolio of published children’s books or related content.
• Strong storytelling skills with a passion for creating engaging, inclusive, and diverse narratives for children.
• Ability to write in a variety of tones and styles to suit different age groups, from simple, family-oriented stories for toddlers to more complex themes for older children.
