Outline Writer Needed Long-Term for Mafia Romance Full-Length Novels

RoseHarbor Publishing is seeking a talented Outline Writer to create multiple outlines within the mafia-romance genre on a weekly basis. This is not a beginner role—we’re looking for someone with a clear understanding of story structure who already possesses the knowledge and expertise in this genre to create compelling, twist-filled plots and develop dynamic, multi-layered characters [with a female main character age 18-24 in the lead role] to keep readers hooked until the final page. This long-term, flexible freelance position offers the opportunity to work on your own schedule, provided deadlines are met and communication is prompt.

If you love mafia romance, have a keen eye for storytelling and popular romance tropes and experience writing in the genre, and have the ability to dissect a plot with razor-sharp precision, we want you on our team! Help us craft gripping, high-stakes love stories that captivate readers and leave them craving more.

Scope of work:

Utilizing our online platform and working within a team consisting of an outline manager, series editor, creative director, editing director, and production manager, our outline writers:

  • Write detailed book and series outlines from idea generation to completion.
  • Create a thrilling, well-paced outline that will be the foundation of an 80,000-word novel. Outlines should be approximately 15,000-20,000 words each.
  • Develop engaging characters who are morally complex, emotionally compelling, and immersed in the high-stakes world of crime, power, and forbidden passion.
  • Ability to implement both single and alternating POVs in plot structure with original twists, suspenseful writing, creative world development, witty dialogue, and ability to create emotional, tragic moments as well as humorous ones.
  • Ability to create satisfying romance arcs.
  • Ability to thoughtfully assign the types of emotional wounds/internal conflict to the heroine and love interest that will create the most obstacles and turmoil as they struggle their way to a happily ever after.
  • Ensure the believability of a story is in place, creating conflict and intrigue within a mafia world.
  • Research for elements like the hierarchy within organized crime families, non-English phrases, common business ventures, legal issues, or psychological conditions ensures accuracy and authenticity. Plan for necessary research to make these elements believable.
  • Spot discrepancies in plot, background, traditions, world, and timeline in a single book outline and between books/outlines in a series.
  • Develop complex and multi-dimensional characters, particularly the heroine and hero/love interest.
  • Develop a swoon-worthy hero who’s dangerous and practically oozes sex appeal.
  • Are willing to adapt to our style and work independently while also being open to suggestions.
  • Are committed to creating fresh and unique plots.

Requirements:

  • Experience in strong romance and character development, suspenseful writing, creation of emotionally intense scenes as well as steamy sex scenes are a must—the story is as important as a book with correct grammar and clean copy. We create compelling romances with action and twists and will depend on you to maintain a high level of quality in our stories with an exceptional eye for detail and accuracy.
  • Excellent communication skills to discuss plots, brainstorm, etc.
  • Must be able to accept constructive criticism and implement feedback from other team members to enhance the story.
  • Able to respond to communication within 24 hours (if you are sick or will be late on a deadline, you agree to send a message).
  • Work in an online shared team environment while also working independently.
  • Use up-to-date version of Microsoft Word’s Track Changes function.
  • Check tasks daily to ensure messages and posts are not missed.
  • Be willing to work on a series that is partially completed, therefore would need to read books/outlines to learn the characters, author voice, style, series plot threads, details, etc. (please let us know if you have a reading fee for reading previously copyrighted work).
  • Deadline driven.
  • Able to self-edit and proofread before submitting work.
  • Good research and fact-checking skills to ensure basic details are accurate (such as the Russian mob being known as the bratva) and be able to write characters who are involved in organized crime syndicates.
  • Ideal candidate will be up to date with the most popular series of the last 5 or so years. Experienced crafting compelling outlines with well-paced plots, engaging conflicts, and satisfying character arcs.

Ownership and Legal:

  • Understand that this is a work-for-hire independent contractor position—editors hold no rights to the work and must adhere to all legal and ownership agreements set by RoseHarbor Publishing.
  • Willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for each book and outline.
  • All submitted work must be 100% original. AI-generated, AI-assisted, pre-written templates, or PLR (Private Label Rights) content will not be accepted. Submissions that appear to rely primarily on AI, templates, or PLR material will be disqualified.

**Please note that we pay a per word or flat fee, we needed to include an hourly rate to advertise the position, but we do not pay hourly**.
