Comic Book Writer for Cyberpunk Series

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am developing an original cyberpunk comic series called GhostNet Protocol. The story mixes mystery, action, crime investigation, psychological thriller, futuristic cities, memory manipulation, conspiracy, and character drama. I am looking for a comic book writer who can help turn my existing lore, characters, and story direction into a strong beat sheet, issue outline, and eventually a professional comic script. This is not a project where the writer is creating the world from scratch. I already have the main worldbuilding, canon, characters, factions, cities, themes, and opening story direction. I need someone who can help structure it into a readable comic format with strong pacing, mystery reveals, emotional character beats, action scenes, and page-turning tension. The ideal writer should understand: ● Comic book / graphic novel writing ● Mystery and crime investigation structure ● Action pacing ● Cyberpunk or sci-fi storytelling ● Character-driven drama ● Beat sheets and issue outlines ● Panel-by-panel comic scripting ● How to work from existing canon without changing the core vision The first assignment will likely involve helping me structure Issue 0 / the opening chapter. The opening involves a disturbing assassination case that leads into a larger mystery involving memory tampering, hidden systems, and a detective trying to uncover the truth. Deliverables may include: 1. Issue 0 beat sheet 2. Scene-by-scene outline 3. Page-by-page comic outline 4. Character arc notes 5. Mystery clue/reveal structure 6. Full comic script after the outline is approved I am looking for someone collaborative, organized, and respectful of established canon. I want creative input, but the main vision, world, and characters are already established. Please include: ● Comic writing samples ● Any mystery, thriller, cyberpunk, sci-fi, or action samples ● Experience writing beat sheets or outlines ● Your process for adapting existing lore into a comic script ● Your rate for beat sheet development and comic scripting This may become ongoing work if the collaboration is strong.
