70,000–95,000 words · from $12,800
Romance that hits the beats readers come back for.
Contemporary, historical, paranormal, billionaire, second-chance, enemies-to-lovers. Beat-perfect, on-trope, on-pace.
You know the trope. You may have the meet-cute and the dark moment already in your head. What you need is a writer who can deliver 75,000 words on the beats without writing the same book everyone else wrote last month.
Romance mood
What romance feels like, in five frames.
Visual reference for the voice, palette, and reader mood the books in this category live in.
Sub-genres we work in
The romance categories with their own conventions.
Sub-genres each have their own structural rules, word-count norms, and reader expectations. We assign by sub-genre, not just by parent.
Genre conventions
The rules we will not break unless you ask.
Every category has conventions its readers expect. The right time to break them is on purpose, with eyes open. The wrong time is by accident.
- Trope-driven structure. The trope is on the cover for a reason.
- Beat placement: meet-cute, growing attraction, first kiss, first conflict, dark moment, grand gesture, HEA. We hit them where readers expect.
- Heat level transparent in the metadata. Closed-door, open-door, explicit — pick one and stay consistent.
- Dual POV is the default in 2026 contemporary; single POV still works in historical and cozy.
- Series-friendly cast. Side characters in book one set up books two and three.

Comp titles

On the discovery call, we ask which two of these your book most resembles, and which one you refuse to be compared to. The answer shapes the outline.

Romance — FAQ
Questions we get from romance authors every week.
Closed-door or open-door?
The cover and metadata have to match the book. Closed-door readers leave 1-stars when they find an open-door scene; open-door readers leave 1-stars when they were promised heat and got fade-to-black. Decide on the discovery call.
Dual POV or single POV?
Dual POV is the dominant convention in 2026 contemporary romance. Single POV still works in historical and in some cozy contemporary. We will recommend on the discovery call.
What about romantasy?
Romantasy lives at /genres/fantasy/ — different team, different pricing. The romance has to land on its own merits; the fantasy has to do the same.
Other genres
Twelve in total. Different team for each.

Memoir
Memoirs work when one specific reader feels seen. Ours work because we interview the author into the chapters that aren't on the LinkedIn page.

Business
The right business book wins a Series B, closes a multi-year keynote pipeline, or repositions a founder for an acquisition. The wrong one sits in a box. We write the right one.

Specialist team
Children's writing
Children's writing is where most adult writers fail. Word count is constraint, not freedom. We have a Chronicle-trained lead who reads every manuscript to a real seven-year-old.
The Soft Hour by Aliyah & Joseph Bremer
Fantasy
Fantasy writing and editing by people who actually read fantasy. Outline-first, world-building bible, series-friendly.
The Salt Throne by Priya Narayan-Chen
Mystery & thriller
Mystery and thriller writers who plot the book first and write the prose second. Plot holes cost readers; we don't write them.
The Verdict Room by Deborah Ngozi Okafor
Science fiction
Science fiction writers who can handle the science. Hard SF projects pair with a domain consultant where the technology has to hold up.
