Outline Writer Needed Long-Term for Fantasy Romance Full-Length Novels (100% Remote)

Rose Harbor Publishing is seeking a talented Outline Writer to create multiple outlines within the fantasy-romance genre with a female main character aged 18-24 in the lead role on a weekly basis. This long-term position is remote and offers flexibility—work when you want as long as deadlines and timelines are met and communication is prompt. The successful candidate is an avid reader of the romance fantasy genre and will apply their genre knowledge to create fulfilling romance and unique plots with surprising twists and escalating tension, all set in a rich fantasy world. We need someone willing to adapt to our style and work independently while at the same time being open to revisions and suggestions, ultimately able to create multiple series of outlines with little input from us.

Scope of work:

• Utilizing our online platform and working within a team consisting of an outline manager, series editors, chief creative 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 a 90,000-110,000-word novel. Outlines should be approximately 15,000-20,000 words each.
• · Develop engaging characters who become embroiled in battles for good and evil within fantasy worlds.
• · 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 romantic 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 fantasy world.
• · Research to document any related fantasy lore or mythology.
• · Spot discrepancies in plot, background, lore, world, and timeline in a single book outline and between books/outlines in a series.
• · Develop strong heroines to inspire and entertain a predominantly female fanbase.
• · Develop swoon-worthy love interests.
• · Are willing to adapt to our style and work independently while also being open to suggestions.
• · Are committed to creating fresh and unique plots.
• · Update the series outline should the series turn in a direction we didn’t anticipate during its creation.

Requirements:

• · Excellent communication skills to discuss plots, brainstorm, etc.
• · Must be able to accept and provide constructive criticism in a way that buoys the spirit of the team and helps everyone learn and grow.
• · 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).
• · Strong research skills to fact-check lore details to ensure accuracy.
• · Work in an online shared team environment while also working independently.
• Use an 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; you 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.
• · Possess excellent research skills and the ability to document scientific details.
• · Ideal candidate will be a reader of the romance fantasy genre and up to date with at least some of the most popular series of the last 5 or so years.

You will be invited to test for the position by writing up to two separate outlines (you will be paid for this). If we are hooked, you’ll be hired as a freelancer and assigned a series. Payment will be made for each completed outline. However, one test may be all we need, but we reserve the right to request a round two if we feel it’s necessary. Should you reach round two, it will include a paid full-length outline.

We will expect your work to be self-edited and proofread. Our editing team will go over what you create and, if needed, send it back to you for revisions. You will be working with editors who are experienced in the genre, and on an online shared environment, and must be open to suggestions and corrections from another set of eyes. The team is available to provide help and suggestions where needed. The goal is to work together to create the perfect fantasy romance series with a female main character age 18-24 in the lead role.

Content must be original, and no plagiarism will be tolerated.

Please note:

• · Work will be WORK FOR HIRE.
• · You will own no rights to the work, your name will appear nowhere on or within it, and RoseHarbor Publishing will own all rights, including reselling and distribution rights.
• · You must be willing to sign an NDA.

We are looking for dependable outline writers to work with long-term in a team environment. We will need many outlines on a regular basis, so please be sure you will have the time to work with us and to devote to creating a detailed outline.

** Please be aware that we don't pay a per-hour fee; we pay per word or a flat fee**.

Thank you for your interest. Rose Harbor Publishing looks forward to hearing from you.
