Literary Romance Novel Summaries
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m commissioning concise, neutral-toned summaries of romance novels that I can hand directly to editors, beta readers, and marketers.
Each summary must centre on three pillars I rely on during revisions—character development, plot structure, and overarching themes—while avoiding subjective, academic flourish. Think of it as the distilled heart of the manuscript, presented in clean, engaging prose that any author can act on immediately.
Scope of work
• Source text: typically full-length romance manuscripts (65k–100k words).
• Language: deliver both Portuguese and English versions, maintaining equivalent nuance.
• Cultural awareness is highly valued; I often weave African settings and perspectives into my stories.
Required deliverables for every title
1. A 2–3-page narrative summary (Word or Google Doc).
2. A dedicated section breaking down character arcs.
3. A clear, bullet-friendly outline of plot structure and pacing beats.
4. An analysis of central themes and their execution.
Turnaround & communication
Speed matters, but clarity comes first. Once I provide the manuscript, I expect the completed set within one week. I answer queries rapidly and will give prompt, consolidated feedback so revisions—if any—are painless.
If you love romance fiction, can balance critical insight with crisp, readable language, and have the discipline to hit tight deadlines, I’d love to see a short sample or portfolio link when you bid.
