My indie publishing imprint is expanding its romance catalogue and I need experienced acquisition support to keep the pipeline full of market-worthy titles. The work centers on full-length books and will require a mix of editorial judgement, business acumen, and a keen eye for current romance trends on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Here’s what the assignment covers: • Reviewing submissions – screening queries, partials, and full manuscripts for voice, plot, and commercial appeal. • Market research – tracking top-selling tropes, comparing comp titles, and presenting data-backed rationale for every acquisition. • Contract negotiations – preparing or reviewing author agreements, advancing royalty terms, and ensuring rights are secured cleanly. • KDP oversight – confirming metadata, pricing strategy, and launch timing so each accepted title is positioned for maximum visibility. Deliverables include a weekly shortlist of recommended manuscripts with your editorial notes, a concise market report supporting each pick, and draft contract terms for approved authors. All work is done in Word or Google Docs with shared spreadsheets for tracking. If you have a proven track record of spotting breakout romance fiction, negotiating fair deals, and steering titles through KDP, I look forward to collaborating.

Hi, Why I'm the Perfect Fit I bring three things you need: editorial judgment, KDP commercial expertise, and fair deal-making. • Romance KDP experience: I know which tropes sell (enemies to lovers, small town) and can spot real trends. Every recommendation comes with market data—not just gut feeling. • Commercial focus: I benchmark manuscripts against Amazon competitors: pricing, categories, keywords, KU performance. You'll get titles with top #5000 potential. • Author negotiation: I draft clear, balanced contracts—fair advances, competitive royalties, sensible clauses. You just review and sign. • Flawless organization: Shared spreadsheets, Google Docs, KDP checklists. Nothing gets lost. Weekly Deliverables • Priority list (max 5 manuscripts) with editorial notes and commercial score • Brief market report for each recommendation (tropes, comp titles) • Contract drafts for approved titles • KDP launch tracking: metadata, pricing, keywords, release date 100% Google Workspace. Deliveries every 3 weekday. Clear, direct communication Best regards, Dania

Hello, Curating and acquiring romance titles that resonate with readers requires both editorial insight and market-savvy decision-making. I specialize in evaluating manuscripts for voice, plot, and commercial potential while aligning selections with current trends in the Amazon KDP marketplace. My first step is to review submissions—queries, partials, and full manuscripts—using clear evaluation criteria. I will supplement this with market research, identifying top-selling tropes and comparable titles to support every acquisition decision. For approved manuscripts, I can prepare or review author agreements, outline royalty terms, and confirm metadata, pricing, and launch timing to maximise visibility on KDP. Deliverables will include a weekly shortlist with editorial notes, a concise market rationale for each title, and draft contract terms. As I am new to this platform, I offer very competitive rates just to encourage collaboration. I have experience in editorial selection, contract drafting, and digital publishing strategy, and can provide examples of previous acquisitions and market assessments. Let’s have a quick chat to discuss your submission pipeline and priorities so we can start strengthening your romance catalogue. Regards, Mashal Anjum.
