Romance
Editing

I work with independent authors in romance fiction, completing manuscript assessments, and full developmental (structural) edits. I also beta read as needed.

I offer informal manuscript appraisal services for writers who have completed a novel, novella or a short prose piece and wish to discuss it in a frank and supportive way.

Authors I have worked with in 2024/2025 include Alexa Padgett (Another Goal, Another Face-Off), Alaina Rose (Next Chapter of Us, Happy Accidents, Wildest Winter), Meghan Schiereck (Please Don’t Die, Love and Related Disorders), Raina Ash (Beautiful Damage, Ugly Beautiful Scars) and Hannah Milner (A Garden of Tulips).

  • I just finished going through your notes and they were extremely helpful! I appreciate how closely you read this story and your kind, thoughtful notes. I finished my editing pass (not finalized), but you still caught some things that I missed and I appreciate that. I added in a few short bits and changed some things around based on your notes too. The little write up doc that you did was very helpful and a nice touch.Thank you so much! You are very appreciated and will definitely be in touch with future projects.

  • Thank you so, so much for all of the work you've put into beta reading for me. Your notes were extremely thoughtful and useful. They did what they needed to — brought my attention to things I hadn't noticed myself and highlighted some points that I think I can expand upon to make the story more rounded.

  • I'm so happy you enjoyed it, and your suggestions and feedback are very helpful :) I always get developmental edits and beta reads for my novels, so I welcome comments that can help make my books stronger. And I appreciate your thoughtfulness and care with my story. Your report and comments hit all of the main things and provided some great suggestions for editing.

  • I can provide an obligation free quote, based on reading one or two complete chapters of your manuscript and having a conversation around your needs and expectations.

    As a guide, a manuscript assessment will cost .01 to .015 cents per word, a full developmental edit is individually priced. Other services include copy and line editing, or a beta read. It does depend on the individual manuscript and your expectations so contact me via email for more information.
