Love outlining juicy, emotionally intense billionaire romances with a bossy alpha hero and a heroine who puts him in his place? We want you on our team …
We’re looking for talented, collaborative, and experienced romance writers to craft compelling chapter-by-chapter outlines for the USA Today bestselling Leslie North pen name. You’ll be joining a creative, driven team of editors and writers who love what they do—and you’ll get paid to do what you love: build irresistible stories that readers can’t put down.
If you know the tropes, understand the fantasy, and love to blend heart, humor, and heat, this might just be your dream gig.
What You’ll Do
- Use our Relay Publishing outline template to craft the character arcs and full plot for a high-stakes, emotionally-satisfying billionaire bosshole romance.
- Create character sheets with well-developed internal conflicts, motivations, and romantic arcs.
- Build detailed chapter-by-chapter breakdowns that will serve as the foundation for our ghostwriters.
- Collaborate with a smart, friendly, and passionate editorial team that thrives on story structure and character development.
- Collaboration will take place via scheduled calls and directly within the outline document via comments.
- Deliver clean, polished, and usable outlines that hit genre expectations—and make us laugh, swoon, and maybe cry a little.
Necessary Skills & Experience
- Proven experience writing or outlining in the billionaire bosshole romance genre. You should be familiar with authors like Nicole Snow, Lauren Landish, Nadia Lee, and Olivia Hayle.
- A love for the luxury fantasy—you should know how to bring yachts, penthouses, designer fashion, and ruthless boardroom power struggles to life.
- You understand what makes these heroes tick: they’re rich, powerful, emotionally guarded—and need a heroine who challenges everything they think they know.
- A heroine who isn’t afraid to speak her mind—and whose journey into the billionaire’s world lets readers escape, explore, and grow alongside her.
- A strong grasp of romantic tension, pacing, and structure. You don’t just write scenes—you build stories that deliver an emotional punch.
- A dramatic, character-driven writing style with the ability to balance emotional depth and humor—stories should hit hard emotionally and make readers laugh.
- A great sense of humor. Our readers love heart and heat, but they also want to laugh. So if your banter sparkles and your awkward moments make us grin—yes, please.
- Experience with outlining or developmental editing is a big plus.
- Professional communication, time management, and a collaborative mindset.
