Outline Writer Long-Term Mafia Romance Length Novels

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

Rose Harbor Publishing is seeking a talented Outline Writer to create multiple outlines within the mafia romance genre on a monthly 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 18-29 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.

We specifically craft dark, high‑heat mafia romances, so applicants must be comfortable developing dangerous, morally gray anti‑heroes and outlining intense romantic and sexual tension.

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.

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 outlines from idea generation to completion.
• Create a thrilling, well‑paced outline that will be the foundation of an 80,000‑90,000 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.
• Write dark, dangerous anti‑heroes whose actions directly heighten the heroine’s fear, attraction, and vulnerability, and build strong, escalating sexual and romantic tension throughout the outline.
• 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.

Experience in strong romance and character development, suspenseful writing, creation of emotionally intense scenes as well as steamy, explicit sex scenes is 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.
