Winning Romantic Short Story Entry

Job ID: 40137456

Budget: $25 – $50 USD

I need a captivating romantic short story that can stand out in an upcoming writing contest with a cash prize. The competition calls specifically for short fiction, so the piece must be concise yet emotionally powerful.

I’ll share the contest rules, word-count limit, and a rough outline of two main characters. From there, I’m looking for you to craft an original narrative that hooks readers from the opening line, builds authentic chemistry, and ends on a memorable note that judges can’t ignore. Strong dialogue, vivid sensory detail, and a believable conflict-resolution arc are essential.

Deliverables
• First draft of the story (within the contest’s word limit)
• One revision round after my feedback
• A 100-word synopsis suitable for the entry form

Please keep the language natural, avoid clichés, and ensure the final text is 100 % original. If you have previous contest wins or published romantic fiction, let me know—that will help me decide quickly so we can beat the deadline.
