I’m assembling a collection of bite-size mystery and suspense pieces for teenagers and need fresh voices to bring it to life. Every story must grip from the first paragraph, build real tension, then close on an ending that deliberately leaves readers wondering what really happened.
If a story you submit is chosen, I’ll release ₹20 for that piece—and there’s no upper limit on how many I’ll buy as long as the quality stays high.
Here’s what I’m looking for
• Mystery and suspense themes that feel relatable to teens—school corridors, online secrets, late-night dares, urban legends, you name it.
• Clear, age-appropriate language in a tight, fast-moving format (around 800–1,200 words—concise is key).
• No graphic violence or explicit content; the thrill should come from atmosphere, twists and unanswered questions.
• A final scene that keeps the mystery open rather than delivering a neat solution.
Deliverables
• Each story in an editable DOCX or Google Doc.
• A one-line teaser (logline) above the title.
• A brief statement confirming the work is 100 % original and unpublished.
I review submissions within three days and pay immediately for every accepted story. Send over a sample or outline if you’d like quick feedback. Let’s keep teens turning pages long after lights-out!
