I will outline your cozy mystery or cozy fantasy novel
About this Gig
Cozy mystery and cozy fantasy outlines from an author-publisher with dozens of published titles. Cozy mystery, cozy paranormal mystery, and cozy fantasy. One subgenre per book.
Cozy mysteries get a fair-play puzzle: a victim who mattered, suspects with real secrets, clues placed before the reveal, and a culprit who is always caught. Violence stays off the page. Cozy fantasy gets a world worth living in and a story about finding where you belong, with no villains and no real danger.
Every package starts with story development: premise, your main character and cast, and the setting. Higher tiers add character arcs, subplots, a suspect grid and clue map (or a belonging arc map for fantasy), a chapter-by-chapter outline, and scene-level planning.
How I work: a proprietary story-development system, AI-assisted and directed and reviewed by me. You get a polished outline to write from. If you need a fully human process, this gig isn't the right fit.
Professional detectives? See my crime gig. Romance-led cozy? See my Cozy Romance & Romantasy gig.

FAQ
Do you use AI in your process?
Yes. I use a proprietary AI-assisted story-development system that I direct and review. Every outline is built from your answers and checked by me before delivery. If you need a fully human process, this gig isn't the right fit.
Will I need to disclose AI use on KDP?
KDP's disclosure covers AI-generated text, images, or translations in the published book. Outlining is generally treated as AI-assisted. The Sample Chapter extra is AI-drafted: if you keep its text, disclose it. Check KDP's current rules.
What do you cover?
Cozy mystery (real world, present day or a past era), cozy paranormal mystery (a magical small town, present day), and cozy fantasy (an invented world). No on-page violence, no sleuth in real danger, and a warm, clear ending.
Does the outline reveal the culprit?
Yes. Mystery outlines contain the full solution: who did it, why, how it was hidden, and where every clue lands. The file is marked so no one else gets spoiled by accident.
What do you need from me?
About 10 minutes. 7 questions are required: premise, subgenre, cozy elements, your main character, hard nos, an OK on my AI-assisted process, and a short set of follow-ups for your subgenre. Skip anything else and I'll decide it.
Can there be romance?
As a side thread only: none, a spark, or a slow build to one kiss, always closed door. If the romance is the main story, see my Cozy Romance & Romantasy gig.
What counts as a revision?
Changes within the agreed premise: reordering beats, moving a clue, adjusting arcs, tightening chapters. A new crime, new culprit, new main character, or different subgenre is a new order.
Can you outline a series?
Yes. Cozy mysteries are built for series: same sleuth and town, a new case each book. Premium includes series setup. For later books in an existing series, message me for a custom offer.
Who owns the outline?
You do, once the order is complete. I never reuse or share client outlines or premises. Delivered as DOCX and PDF.
Can you write the book too?
The Sample Chapter extra covers one chapter. Full manuscripts are available by custom offer to outline clients: AI-drafted, human-directed and edited, with KDP disclosure required. Message me after delivery.
