Summary

Job Posting: Contemporary Billionaire Romance Ghostwriter Needed — Lead Magnet + Book One Now hiring a top-notch, experienced, and reliable Contemporary Romance ghostwriter who has a passion for writing addictive, trope-driven billionaire romance with strong chemistry, emotional tension, witty banter, and page-turning pacing. I am building a contemporary billionaire romance brand under a pen name and am looking for a writer who could potentially become a long-term ghostwriting partner for future books. For our first project together, I would like to begin with a 10,000-word lead magnet novella and 50,000-word Book One. The concepts for both stories have already been developed. I will provide the main characters, character definitions, tropes, settings, romantic direction, and overall story vision. I am looking for a ghostwriter who can take that foundation and develop strong plot summaries and chapter-by-chapter outlines before writing polished, compelling prose. The stories should be fast-paced and highly readable, with immediate hooks, strong romantic chemistry, emotional depth, and chapter endings that make readers want to keep turning pages. I especially want someone who understands how to build sexual tension gradually through banter, attraction, proximity, touches, kissing, and emotional intimacy. The books should feel steamy and sexy without explicit on-page sex. Intimate scenes will be closed-door/fade-to-black. The 10K lead magnet must tell a complete and satisfying romance within the shorter word count, including a strong beginning, escalating attraction, romantic conflict, emotional payoff, and HEA/HFN. It should not feel like the first few chapters of an unfinished novel. Book One will be a longer contemporary billionaire romance with its own characters, story, and complete romantic arc. This will be 50,000 words. Please include the following with your application: Questions: What is your favorite contemporary romance niche or trope to write, and why? How many contemporary romance novels or novellas have you ghostwritten? Have you written billionaire, workplace, forbidden, forced-proximity, or other trope-driven contemporary romance? Are you currently writing full-time or part-time? How many completed 50K+ romance novels have you written? How many polished words can you reliably deliver per week? Please briefly describe your plotting and outlining process. How do you approach writing strong chemistry and sexual tension in a closed-door romance? Are you comfortable working from established characters, tropes, and creative direction while still bringing originality to the scenes, dialogue, and storytelling? Are you interested in an ongoing relationship if the first projects are a strong fit? Initial Projects: Project One: Approximately 10,000-word billionaire romance lead magnet novella Project Two: Book One — 50,000-word full-length contemporary billionaire romance novel Additional books may follow if we work well together! Requirements: ● Strong experience writing contemporary romance. ● Excellent command of natural American English dialogue and prose. ● Able to write compelling first-person POV. ● Strong understanding of popular romance tropes and reader expectations. ● Able to create detailed plot summaries and chapter-by-chapter outlines before drafting. ● Able to open stories with strong hooks rather than lengthy exposition. ● Every chapter should have forward momentum and end with a compelling reason to continue reading. ● Able to create high romantic and sexual tension while keeping intimate scenes closed-door/fade-to-black. ● Must follow established character personalities, tropes, story direction, and continuity. ● Original content only. No plagiarism, recycled manuscripts, or material previously written for another client. ● Reliable, communicative, and receptive to feedback. ● Professional work ethic and ability to meet agreed-upon deadlines. ● Willing to make reasonable revisions to ensure the finished story matches the agreed-upon outline and creative direction. ● NDA and ghostwriting/work-for-hire agreement required. Writing Samples: Please send your strongest samples of contemporary romance writing. Samples featuring billionaire romance, workplace romance, forbidden romance, forced proximity, strong banter, or high romantic tension are especially helpful. Please include at least one sample that demonstrates how you handle romantic chemistry and tension between the hero and heroine, not simply exposition or world-building. Please begin your proposal with the phrase: “LENNOX BANKS ROMANCE WRITER” Thank you for your time and consideration. I’m excited to find a talented writer who understands the type of addictive, emotional, sexy billionaire romance I want to create and who may be interested in working together on future books.
