The Challenge
Neha Sharma, a creative writer from Delhi, had written a short story called When Machines Dream. It was just 15 pages long but had a gripping premise about AI consciousness and human emotion.
Despite her story’s brilliance, every editor she approached told her the same thing—it was “too short to sell.”
That’s when she approached Write Right, looking for direction to turn her concept into a full-fledged novel without losing its originality.
The Write Right Approach
-
Concept Development and Ghostwriting
We assigned a developmental editor and a sci-fi ghostwriter to Neha’s project. Together, they expanded her core idea into a 70,000-word novel, building deeper backstories, tension arcs, and emotional stakes. -
Research and Technical Accuracy
The team consulted AI researchers to validate the scientific ideas, making sure the narrative sounded realistic while still imaginative. -
Proposal and Query Support
Once the manuscript was complete, Write Right created a submission-ready proposal, synopsis, and custom query letters tailored for Indian sci-fi publishers. -
Marketing Prep and Positioning
We guided Neha to position her book among tech-savvy young readers and academic circles, ensuring longevity beyond just launch week.
The Outcome
Within four weeks of submission:
-
A Delhi-based publisher accepted the manuscript immediately.
-
The book ranked #4 in Science-Fiction on Amazon India for ten consecutive weeks.
-
Neha received two print interviews and a spotlight feature in Hindustan Times Digital.
The Takeaway
Neha’s journey from a short story to a best-selling novel reflected the power of guided collaboration.
At Write Right, we help authors transform ideas into full-fledged publishing projects that stand the test of quality, readership, and time.
Her story reminded our team why story development is both art and strategy—and why every great book starts with a spark that just needs the right fuel.
