Original Emotional LGBTQ+ Romance Story

I’m commissioning a full-length LGBTQ+ romance set in the present day, unfolding across more than one country to capture an international atmosphere. The narrative must be entirely original—no fan-fic, no re-skins of existing plots—so I can confidently publish or adapt it.

The story should sweep readers through believable highs and lows while spotlighting three core emotional threads:
• Identity and self-discovery
• Family dynamics and pressure
• Sacrifice for love

I’m looking for layered protagonists, nuanced supporting characters, vivid dialogue, and at least one gasp-worthy twist that still feels earned. The ending should resonate—bittersweet, hopeful, or triumphant is up to you—as long as it feels meaningful and ties back to the themes above.

Please deliver:
• A polished manuscript in MS Word or Google Docs
• A brief synopsis (1-2 pages)
• A one-paragraph elevator pitch

If you already write contemporary queer fiction and can balance raw emotion with beautiful prose, I’d love to read your sample pages and hear how you’d tackle this project.
