First or second?

Job ID: 40532964

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I need a fresh, modern-day romance told strictly from the first-person point of view. The voice should feel authentic—lively inner thoughts, real-world dialogue, and emotions that ring true for today’s reader.

Scope
• Length: about 1,500–2,000 words, enough to stand alone as a short story or magazine-style feature.
• Setting: present-day cities or small towns—no historical flashbacks, no fantasy elements. Keep tech, slang, and cultural references current.
• Perspective: unwavering first person. The narrator’s feelings and perceptions must drive every scene; no head-hopping.

Deliverable
A polished Word or Google Doc containing the complete story, ready for publication. Please proofread, ensure smooth pacing, and aim for a satisfying, emotionally resonant conclusion.

If you love crafting contemporary romance and can keep the narrative immersive from the first line to the last, I’m eager to read your work.
