You will need to add a class to org-latex-classes. You should read the
documentation for the variable with C-h v org-latex-classes RET.
You can try customizing this variable but I find the customize interface
to it somewhat confusing, so I prefer to do it by hand - you need to add
something like this to the end of your initialization file (you probably
just need chapters):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq sa/sffms-latex-class '("novel" "\\documentclass{sffms}"
("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")))
(eval-after-load "ox-latex"
'(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes sa/sffms-latex-class))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then your org file should look like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_CLASS: novel
#+TITLE: Fahrenheit 451
#+AUTHOR: Ray Bradbury
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
* The Hearth and the Salamander
It was a pleasure to burn.
It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, blackened
and /changed/.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note that the latex class is known as "novel" to org because of
the way I defined sa/sffms-latex-class. You could call it whatever
you want, by changing the two instances of "novel".
That's a beginning but you will probably have to modify some other
things. Just put them in a style file, say misc.sty:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\runningtitle{Fahrenheit 451}
\authorname{Ray Bradbury}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
plus any other settings from the sfmms documentation you think are
necessary, and add a line to your .org file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{misc}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to pick them up. That should get you some way towards your goal.
