Modern YA Romance Story
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m putting together a fresh, modern-day romance aimed squarely at a young-adult readership and I’d love your help turning the concept into a story that readers can’t put down.
Here’s what I need from you:
• A completely original romance set in today’s world—think social media, smartphones, college life, first apartments, or any other contemporary touchstones that feel authentic to teens and twenty-somethings.
• Characters who leap off the page, a swoon-worthy central relationship, and a plot that moves at a brisk pace while still hitting an emotional peak.
• Natural, engaging dialogue and a voice that speaks to young adults without talking down to them.
Deliverables
– A finished manuscript (Word or Google Doc) with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
– Brief synopsis (150–250 words) outlining the main conflict and resolution.
– Confirmation that the work is 100 % original and exclusive to this project.
Acceptance Criteria
1. Story keeps its focus on a romantic arc set in the present day.
2. Tone and content remain suitable for a YA audience.
3. Final draft arrives proofread and ready to publish or workshop.
If you can bring compelling characters, a tight plot, and that unmistakable spark of first love to life, let’s talk.
