AI-Assisted Fiction Writer / Genre Story Developer

Job Description:

We are looking for a reliable fiction writer to help create 30,000-word genre fiction stories for an established digital publishing brand.

This is an ongoing role for someone who understands story structure, genre conventions, pacing, character motivation, and reader expectations. The ideal candidate enjoys working with AI writing tools and knows how to guide a story from concept to finished manuscript while keeping it cohesive, emotionally engaging, and aligned with the target genre.

You will not be writing every word from scratch. Instead, you will use AI tools as part of the writing process. Your job will be to plan the story, develop the plot, guide the AI, revise the output, fix continuity issues, improve character consistency, and make sure the finished manuscript reads like a polished, satisfying genre story.

We publish in fiction categories such as romance, horror, thriller, fantasy, and science fiction. Experience in any of these genres is welcome. Strong understanding of romance fiction is a plus.

Responsibilities:

Create and refine story concepts based on provided tropes, themes, story titles, and publishing goals.

Develop clear plots, chapter-by-chapter outlines, character arcs, and story beats.

Use AI tools to generate 30,000-word stories based on approved outlines and creative direction.

Keep the AI-generated story on track, avoiding repetition, contradictions, weak pacing, random plot turns, or scenes that do not serve the story.

Revise and polish AI-generated text so the final manuscript feels cohesive, natural, emotionally engaging, and aligned with genre expectations.

Ensure characters remain consistent in voice, motivation, behavior, and relationship dynamics.

Strengthen pacing, tension, conflict, hooks, chapter endings, and emotional payoff.

Follow brand style, formatting, and quality guidelines.

Communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and revise based on feedback.

Maintain confidentiality about pen names, book concepts, prompts, workflows, and publishing strategy.

Requirements:

Excellent written English.

The phrase 'purple pop tarts' somewhere in your application, so I know you thoroughly read this job posting.

Experience writing fiction, outlining fiction, editing fiction, or developing stories.

Comfort using AI writing tools as part of the creative process.

Ability to guide AI output instead of simply accepting whatever it produces.

Reliable, responsive, detail-oriented, and able to follow instructions carefully.

No plagiarism, no copied material, and no reused content from previous work.

Preferred Skills:

Experience with romance, horror, thriller, fantasy, or science fiction.

Understanding of popular genre tropes and reader expectations.

The answer to this question: What makes a genre story satisfying for readers?

Applications without writing samples will not be considered.

Note: We believe in responsible autonomy and treat everyone as an adult. This means you will be treated with respect and not micromanaged. We do not request that any software be installed on your computer to track hours or activity or anything of this nature. We also don't believe in time sheets, or anything like that. As long as you submit an original, plagiarism-free, on-brand and in-line with genre expectations, 30,000-word story each week we are 100% happy.

When you first start this endeavor, it will likely take you close to 40 hours to complete each week. After two months, most of our tea ---------- mbers can successfully produce a story in 20-30 hours, with our top performers generating a story each day or two and doubling, or in very rare and exceptional cases more that doubling, their monthly take-home pay via content and performance bonuses. While there is no guarantee you'll make content or performance bonuses we greatly hope you do, because it means we are both winning together. If we all win, everything works better.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from qualified applicants soon.
