What makes an invented world convincing isn’t usually the magic, but when someone has not only the world’s systems and structures but also the world’s food farming and tax collecting, and also when they envision what happens to people who cannot afford to pay the tax.
World building documents get organized with indices, taglines and references. This allows a writers room to look something up in a second instead of each person re-inventing the world and contradicting one episode that’s based on another episode that nobody has time to read.
Following one premise honestly is the basis of originality. If the world you created is able to have a cure for death, the nature of all social and cultural structures relating to inheritance, marriage, war, peace, and religion, among others, will begin to change. The fun and challenging task is working out how and why these changes will occur. One can imagine and enjoy this chain of consequences. A system trained on existing fantasy will reach for the elves.
Generated worlds are collages. Names are borrowed from three different real world languages. A map will often place a desert next to a glacier with no rhyme or reason. The magic system has no cost, thus providing no challenge or difficulty to the plot. It is nearly impossible to reason with worlds lacking cost. They look complete.
We begin with a premise and opening that draws in the reader with your story, because without one a world loses its interest. The writer would start by mapping out the geography, preparing if necessary an economical structure, infrastructure for the transfer of belief, and a log of contradictions. Tone is set by the details included, as that which is boring speaks volumes over that which is exciting.
Depth is determined by length. A novel usually requires a bit more detail to provide continuity for one author. A game needs names, descriptions, and rules that a designer can add. A shared universe needs a canon on which everyone can agree. Say what you are developing and the brief is that extensive. the brief doesn’t pad to seem more thorough.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.

The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
We match the brief to a writer who has already worked in that subject area. If you have worked with an Articled writer before and want them again, name them and we will check their availability first.
Up to 3 days. The writer has to read around the subject before writing it, so we quote honestly rather than promising an hour. If your deadline is tighter, say so in the brief and we will tell you before you pay whether we can meet it.
Yes. Send everything, including the pieces you think contradict one another. The writer will take your material as a base and construct additional sections using the rules you provided and will instead send you a list of potential conflicts and their suggested solutions rather than overwriting your decisions.
We create naming systems, specific lexicons and audio recordings with an associated sound, which is what most projects require. A fully constructed grammar is another discipline, and we will explain that instead of providing a vocabulary list with no grammar.
Completely. Copyright transfers to you on delivery, with no attribution requirement and no licence back to us. Nothing written for you is resold, repurposed or republished.

I described my vision of a happy ending. Now, I have their version in return which is quieter and more sad. They included an explanation, a reasoning behind their choice, and a way for me to have it my way by writing a different (happy ending) version if I prefer. I kept their original.
I couldn’t write it myself and had to ask for help two days before. It came the next morning looking plain and quiet with none of the words I was dreading. My aunt asked who wrote it and I said.
At a natural pace, the speech was about ninety seconds over the twelve minute mark. Editing it was simple because your structure was clear, but I shouldn’t have to. Our director called the content of your speech the best written thing that she has ever delivered.
