I’m assembling a series of bite-size romance stories that will run as standalone articles for an adult readership. Each piece has to feel complete on its own, carry a serious, dramatic mood, and leave the reader lingering on the emotions long after the final line. Here’s what I need from you: well-paced prose, vivid characters, believable dialogue, and an emotional arc that resolves—whether happily, tragically, or somewhere in between—without resorting to clichés. Originality is non-negotiable; I’m looking for fresh plots, not recycled tropes or re-spun public-domain material. Once we agree on a concept, you’ll deliver the finished story in an editable Word or Google Doc, formatted for easy web publication. Alongside the manuscript, include a short logline (one-sentence summary) plus a two-to-three-sentence blurb I can use for promotional copy. When you reply, attach one sample of a serious, dramatic romance you’ve written—ideally under 1,500 words—and tell me, in a sentence or two, how you keep tension high in shorter fiction. I’ll review submissions quickly so we can lock in the first story and keep the momentum going.
