Job Description
Outline Writer Needed Long-Term for Mafia Romance Full-Length Novels
RoseHarbor Publishing is seeking a talented Outline Writer to create multiple outlines within the mafia-romance genre on a weekly basis. This is not a beginner role-we're looking for someone with a clear understanding of story structure who already possesses the knowledge and expertise in this genre to create compelling, twist-filled plots and develop dynamic, multi-layered characters [with a female main character age 18-24 in the lead role] to keep readers hooked until the final page. This long-term, flexible freelance position offers the opportunity to work on your own schedule, provided deadlines are met and communication is prompt.
If you love mafia romance, have a keen eye for storytelling and popular romance tropes and experience writing in the genre, and have the ability to dissect a plot with razor-sharp precision, we want you on our team! Help us craft gripping, high-stakes love stories that captivate readers and leave them craving more.
Scope of work:
Utilizing our online platform and working within a team consisting of an outline manager, series editor, creative director, editing director, and production manager, our outline writers:
Write detailed
book and series outlines
from idea generation to completion.
Create a thrilling, well-paced outline that will be the foundation of an 80,000-word novel. Outlines should be approximately 15,000-20,000 words each.
Develop engaging characters who are morally complex, emotionally compelling, and immersed in the high-stakes world of crime, power, and forbidden passion.
Ability to implement both single and alternating POVs in plot structure with original twists, suspenseful writing, creative world development, witty dialogue, and ability to create emotional, tragic moments as well as humorous ones.
Ability to create satisfying romance arcs.
Ability to thoughtfully assign the types of emotional wounds/internal conflict to the heroine and love interest that will create the most obstacles and turmoil as they struggle their way to a happily ever after.
Ensure the believability of a story is in place, creating conflict and intrigue within a mafia world.
Research for elements like the hierarchy within organized crime families, non-English phrases, common business ventures, legal issues, or psychological conditions ensures accuracy and authenticity. Plan for necessary research to make these elements believable.
Spot discrepancies in plot, background, traditions, world, and timeline in a single book outline and between books/outlines in a series.
Develop complex and multi-dimensional characters, particularly the heroine and hero/love interest.
Develop a swoon-worthy hero who's dangerous and practically oozes sex appeal.
Are willing to adapt to our style and work independently while also being open to suggestions.
Are committed to creating fresh and unique plots.
Requirements:
Experience in strong romance and character development, suspenseful writing, creation of emotionally intense scenes as well as steamy sex scenes are a must-the story is as important as a book with correct grammar and clean copy. We create compelling romances with action and twists and will depend on you to maintain a high level of quality in our stories with an exceptional eye for detail and accuracy.
Excellent communication skills to discuss plots, brainstorm, etc.
Must be able to accept constructive criticism and implement feedback from other team members to enhance the story.
Able to respond to communication within 24 hours (if you are sick or will be late on a deadline, you agree to send a message).
Work in an online shared team environment while also working independently.
Use up-to-date version of Microsoft Word's Track Changes function.
Check tasks daily to ensure messages and posts are not missed.
Be willing to work on a series that is partially completed, therefore would need to read books/outlines to learn the characters, author voice, style, series plot threads, details, etc. (please let us know if you have a reading fee for reading previously copyrighted work).
Deadline driven.
Able to self-edit and proofread before submitting work.
Good research and fact-checking skills to ensure basic details are accurate (such as the Russian mob being known as the bratva) and be able to write characters who are involved in organized crime syndicates.
Ideal candidate will be up to date with the most popular series of the last 5 or so years. Experienced crafting compelling outlines with well-paced plots, engaging conflicts, and satisfying character arcs.
Ownership and Legal:
Understand that this is a work-for-hire independent contractor position-editors hold no rights to the work and must adhere to all legal and ownership agreements set by RoseHarbor Publishing.
Willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for each book and outline.
All submitted work must be 100% original. AI-generated, AI-assisted, pre-written templates, or PLR (Private Label Rights) content will not be accepted. Submissions that appear to rely primarily on AI, templates, or PLR material will be disqualified.
**Please note that we pay a per word or flat fee, we needed to include an hourly rate to advertise the position, but we do not pay hourly**.

RoseHarbor Publishing is looking to secure a talented Series Editor for multiple series of novel-length books (80,000-90,000 words) within the mafia romance genre.
We are seeking a dependable editor to work with long-term in a team environment. While this will be on a book-by-book basis initially, starting with the continuation of an ongoing series, we will require many books to be edited on a regular basis (weekly and monthly) as you learn our style and progress to various levels of editing/rewriting difficulty.
Scope of work:
Utilizing our online platform, you will follow a series from beginning to end while completing a training process that will support you in learning our style. Series editors:
Provide feedback and suggestions on each version of a book outline as it is created in the form of a developmental critique within the document.
Critique writers' submissions as they are posted, providing coaching and feedback on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
Spot discrepancies in plot, background story, point of view, worldbuilding, and timeline in a single book and between books in a series when critiquing both outlines and manuscripts.
Ensure the book meets genre expectations regarding main character traits (i.e.: for mafia romance, the male main character should be dangerous and morally gray), romance arc, inclusion of popular mafia romance tropes, and plot.
Coach writers by pointing out style weaknesses, using our guidelines to strengthen their writing skills.
Request revisions from writers and approve those revisions.
Complete two rounds of substantive editing with editing director input in between. This may involve complete or partial reorganization and rewriting to ensure quality of each novel is maintained.
Every book will be passed through additional layers of editing. After each pass, the series editor will fix any issues the downline editors find.
Research to fact-check specific details regarding settings, titles within various organized crime syndicates, and/or any other elements that aren't common knowledge to ensure accuracy.
Check any non-English terms in the book for accuracy.
Display a high level of discretion, diplomacy, and tact in dealing with writers.
Answer outline writers' and book writers' questions as they write each book or outline on our online platform.
Self-edit and proofread own work before submitting.
Track character details with Master Character List.
Are proficient with Microsoft Word's track changes and commenting system.
Adhere to Chicago Manual of Style.
Adhere to RoseHarbor's Publishing Style, which will be provided.
Adhere to standard U.S. English.
Note: Editors will be paid separately for each process they are responsible for: manuscript critiquing/questions, outline critiquing/editing, editing/rewriting novels, and final novel polishing (more details with interview).
Requirements:
Strong grasp of the romance genre in general and familiarity with mafia romance in particular.
Knowledge of popular genre tropes.
Willingness to read and discuss popular mafia books assigned to them.
Strong romance and character development, suspenseful writing, creation of emotionally intense scenes as well as steamy sex scenes are a must-the story is as important as a book with correct grammar and clean copy. We create compelling romances with action and twists and will depend on you to maintain our high level of quality in our stories with an exceptional eye for detail and accuracy.
Able/willing to learn our author's voice and emulate that voice.
Write/edit in both first person and third person point of views, past and present tense, while alternating character POVs per each scene.
Good research and fact-checking skills to ensure basic details are accurate (such as the Russian mob being known as the bratva) and be able to write/edit characters who are involved in organized crime syndicates. You will receive (and help maintain) a Master Character List in which you will be required to fact-check character details while editing.
High levels of discretion, diplomacy, and tact in dealing with writers and editors.
Deadline driven and able to respond to communication within 24 hours-very important.
Must learn our style: Chicago Manual of Style, Merriam-Webster, change passive writing to active writing, be able to apply a list of our guidelines to the edit and work with writers to incorporate our style into writing.
Ability to spot discrepancies in plot and background story in a single book and between books in a series, using the Master Character List for reference.
Able to self-edit and proofread own work before submitting.
Work in an online shared team environment.
Be able to work in a fast-paced environment where editing and revision deadlines must be met.
Be able to fill in for another editor and finish a series if necessary, emulating the characters of the series.
Use updated version of Microsoft Word track changes function.
Our readership is primarily comprised of women. You will have some creative license, and we expect your work to be self-edited and proofread. Our editing director and team will go over your work, and if needed, send it back to you for revisions and/or suggestions or to answer questions. You will be working with editors who are experienced in the genre on an online shared environment, and you must be open to constructive criticism from another set of eyes. The team will provide help and suggestions where needed, as well as brainstorming on the plot if necessary. The goal is to work together to create the perfect mafia romance series.
You must have time to devote to editing full-length novels, outlines, critiquing for revisions, etc., each month. Excellent communication skills are essential, as communicating with us for deadlines and with the writers about plots and revisions is a must. We work as a team and care about our writers and editors. This is a good opportunity for someone who wants job security.
Ownership and Legal:
Understand that this is a work-for-hire independent contractor position-editors hold no rights to the work and must adhere to all legal and ownership agreements set by RoseHarbor Publishing.
