Job Description
Long-Term Contemporary Romance Ghostwriter Needed
I’m currently looking for a skilled, dependable ghostwriter for contemporary romance projects.
This first project is a 60,000-word standalone novel, but I’m hoping to find the right long-term fit for ongoing work. If we work well together, I’d love to build a steady, lasting partnership.
Project details
Start date: 3/27/26
Project: One standalone contemporary romance novel
Length: 60,000 words
Timeline: Must be able to write at least 10,000 words per week
What I’m looking for
Native English speaker with strong writing skills
Experience writing contemporary romance with emotion, tension, and strong character chemistry
Ability to create a plot summary and chapter-by-chapter outline based on provided tropes/themes
Strong communication and reliability
Professional work ethic and respect for deadlines
Original writing only — no plagiarism
AI is fine for brainstorming or idea support, but the writing itself must feel original, natural, and human-written
Willingness to revise when needed
Comfortable signing a contract/NDA
Available for a brief Zoom call before kickoff to make sure we’re a good fit and aligned on expectations
Compensation
Compensation is competitive and will be discussed with shortlisted candidates based on experience, writing quality, and overall fit. There is also room for growth over time for the right long-term writer.
How to apply
Please submit the first three chapters of your best contemporary romance manuscript so I can get a feel for your voice and writing style.
When submitting your proposal, please begin with: “I am so ready” so I know you read the full post.
Thank you, and I look forward to finding the right fit.
