Create Romantasy Reading Ritual Companion Ebook

I. Project overview I'm looking for a talented designer (and ideally a light content collaborator) to create a premium digital PDF product called The Romantasy Reading Ritual Companion. This is a beautifully designed 20–25 page digital download that will be given away free with every bag of our Romantasy Blend coffee. It should feel like a treasured bonus — the kind of thing readers screenshot, print, and actually use. It needs to feel handmade, warm, and made by someone who genuinely loves books. Not templated. Not mass-produced. Not AI-generated. II. About the brand Writers & Readers Coffee makes premium mushroom coffee crafted for readers and writers. Our flagship product, the Romantasy Blend, is: Real arabica coffee with rich, smooth dark chocolate notes Blended with Lion's Mane and Chaga for clean, focused energy Designed to taste like authentic premium coffee — not earthy mushrooms Made for long reading sessions, slow mornings, and late-night chapters The blend feels feminine, cozy, elegant, and immersive. Think candlelight, blankets, annotated pages, and the quiet magic of settling in with a love story. III. Who this is for Our audience is women who love reading and/or writing romantasy fiction, and who treat coffee as part of their reading ritual. They: - Live on BookTok and Bookstagram - Love tropes, annotations, and tracking their reading life - Care about aesthetics and cozy atmosphere - Feel deeply about the books they read (they read to "feel all the feels") - Are drawn to romance woven through magic, kingdoms, and mythical worlds - This product should make them feel seen. IV. Why we're making it Our coffee sits at a $42.99 price point, and we can't offer smaller sizes right now. So instead of lowering the price, we want to raise the perceived value of the whole offer. The goal is simple: when a shopper sees the coffee, we want the purchase to feel like buying a complete reading experience — not just a bag of coffee. This companion isn't meant to make money on its own. Its job is to make the offer feel richer, more premium, more tailored, and more giftable. If it helps one more reader feel confident hitting "add to cart," it's doing its work. V. Tone and voice inspiration Two blogs capture the exact feeling I want. Please read them before you begin: 1. The Enchanted Spine — emotionally rich, immersive, "feel all the feels" energy. Great trope explanations and warm, knowing voice. 2. Once Upon a Book Club — welcoming, cozy, playful, community-driven, all about the experience of reading. The written elements in this companion should sound like a friend who reads romantasy every night — inviting, a little dreamy, never stiff or corporate. Warm and human above all. VI. Content outline Here's the structure I'd like. Feel free to bring your expertise and improve it — I'm not a romantasy reader myself, so your genre knowledge matters here. 1. Welcome page A short, warm intro that sets the mood and ties the companion to the coffee ritual. One page, dreamy and inviting. 2. Reading ritual builder - A guided page to help readers design their perfect immersive reading moment: - Preferred reading time - Ambiance and lighting notes - Candle or scent pairing prompts - "What I'm sipping tonight" (natural tie-in to the coffee) - Blanket, playlist, and mood checklist - A fill-in "My perfect reading night" builder 3. TBR tracker - To-be-read list pages - Series tracker - "Books that ruined me" section - Monthly reading wrap-up 4. Trope tracker - A delightful, niche-specific page for logging and rating favorite tropes: - Enemies to lovers - Morally grey hero - Slow burn - Fated mates - Forced proximity - Found family - Include space to rate each trope and note the book that did it best. 5. Book boyfriend ranking A fun, collectible page for ranking favorite love interests, with room for notes on why each one earned the spot. 6. Annotation companion A practical annotation key readers can follow while reading. Include a suggested color/symbol system for: - Yearning - Tension - Spice - Betrayal - Foreshadowing - Devotion - Add a favorite-quotes page and a reaction log. 7. Cozy session logs - Pages that link the reading experience back to the coffee: - Current read + current brew - Pages read / time spent - Mood check - Immersion notes 8. Spice & content notes A light page where readers can log spice levels (0–5) and personal content notes per book — a genuinely useful feature for this audience. 9. Aesthetic bonus pages The delight layer: - Printable bookmarks (2–4 designs) - Romantasy quote pages - Chapter-break reflection prompts - Seasonal or themed reading-night pages (e.g., a "winter court" or "forest kingdom" mood) VII. Design requirements - Length: 20–25 pages maximum. Quality over quantity — a tight, gorgeous booklet beats a bloated one. - Aesthetic: Feminine, elegant, romantasy-inspired. Think soft textures, moody florals, candlelight tones, subtle magical touches. - Cohesion: Should feel visually connected to a premium coffee brand — warm, cozy, refined. - Formats: Deliver as a high-quality PDF that is: - Tablet-friendly (readable and fillable on iPad/tablet) - Printable (clean margins, print-safe colors) - Typography: Elegant and readable. No generic default fonts. Fillable fields where it makes sense (trackers, logs, builders). VIII. What to avoid Please steer clear of anything that reads as: - Generic or template-y - Obviously or clearly AI-generated (our audience is sensitive to this and it will hurt the brand) - Overly "productivity" or corporate - Cheap freebie-feeling - Disconnected from books, ritual, coziness, or coffee - This audience values craft and authenticity. If it feels soulless, it fails. IX. Deliverables - Final print-ready PDF (20–25 pages) - Tablet-optimized version if formatting differs - Editable source files (e.g., Canva, InDesign, or your preferred tool) so we can make small updates later - Any fonts or licensing details we need to know about X. Timeline & budget Budget: 350 Timeline: Negotiable Revisions: Please include at least two rounds of revisions in your quote. XI. To apply Please send: A short note on why this project appeals to you (bonus points if you read romantasy) Relevant samples of digital products, journals, or printables you've designed Your rate, timeline, and number of revisions included I'd love to work with someone who gets the genre and cares about the little details. That's what will make this feel special.
