Romantic Short Story Creation
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m looking for a gifted storyteller to craft an original romance short story inspired by the spirit of “dance like nobody’s watching, love like you’ll never be hurt.” I want a tale that captures that fearless, wholehearted approach to life and love—something readers can feel in their bones.
Scope and expectations
• Length: roughly 3,000–5,000 words, flexible if the story demands a little more room to breathe.
• Tone: heartfelt and uplifting with authentic emotional stakes.
• Key elements: believable characters, a clear romantic arc, natural dialogue, and a satisfying resolution that leaves the reader smiling.
• Originality: absolutely no AI-generated or previously published material; I’ll run standard plagiarism checks.
• Voice: contemporary, vivid, and accessible—think warm, engaging narration rather than flowery prose.
Process
1. Outline – Share a one-page synopsis and character sketches so we can align on direction before you dive into drafting.
2. First draft – Deliver the full story for initial feedback.
3. Revisions – Up to two focused rounds of edits to refine pacing, clarity, and emotional impact.
4. Final polish – Provide a clean, proofread manuscript in both Word and PDF formats.
What will make your proposal stand out
• Demonstrated experience writing romance or character-driven fiction.
• A short sample (500 words max) that showcases your style.
• Brief note on how you would weave the “live like it’s heaven on earth” theme into the narrative without sounding cliché.
If crafting a memorable, feel-good romance sounds like your kind of project, I’d love to hear your ideas and see a glimpse of your work.
