About this Gig
Is your dark romance or romantasy manuscript missing the tension, pacing, or emotional punch readers expect? I can help.
I'm a developmental editor with 5+ years of experience in romance, including dark romance, mafia, and LGBTQ+ stories. I know the tropes, the heat levels, and what keeps BookTok readers turning pages.
What you get:
- Plot, pacing, and structure analysis
- Character arc and chemistry review (FMC, MMC, villains)
- Trope check: are you delivering what your subgenre readers want?
- Worldbuilding and magic system feedback for romantasy
- Spice and dark content review (heat level, consent, content warnings)
- Detailed editorial letter with a clear revision plan
- Margin comments throughout your manuscript
Perfect for indie authors, first-time writers, and anyone preparing to query or self-publish.
Please message me before ordering with your word count, subgenre, and a short synopsis so I can confirm it's a good fit. I won't rewrite your book. I'll show you what's working, what isn't, and how to fix it so the story stays yours.
Your manuscript stays 100% confidential.

FAQ
Do you rewrite my manuscript?
Yes, but that'd be a different service entirely!
What’s the difference between developmental editing and copy editing?
Developmental editing looks at the big picture: story, tension, character arcs, and tropes. Copy editing fixes grammar and style at the sentence level. Most books need developmental editing first.
Do you edit dark or explicit content?
Yes. I work with dark romance, mafia romance, and spicy scenes professionally and without judgment. I focus on whether the content serves the story and meets reader expectations.
What if my book isn’t finished?
I can work with a complete draft or a partial one. Message me first and we’ll find the best fit.
Is my manuscript safe?
Yes. Your work is private, will never be shared, and stays yours.
