I will developmental edit your romance novel or series for plot, pacing and emotion
About this Gig
Struggling with plot holes, slow pacing, or flat characters? I'll give your romance, romantasy, paranormal, or dark romance novel a deep developmental edit so it feels tight, emotional, and ready for agents or readers.
I go beyond grammar and typos to focus on the story itself: plot structure, pacing, character arcs, and the romantic tension that makes readers turn pages. For dark romance and romantasy, I also check power dynamics, world-building consistency, and genre expectations.
You'll get:
A detailed editorial letter covering plot, pacing, and character
Margin notes on specific scenes and moments
A clear, prioritized revision roadmap
Honest, genre-aware feedback that respects your creative vision
I read widely in romance and understand what makes the genre work, from slow burns to morally gray leads. My goal is to help you tell your story better, not rewrite it in my voice.

How long does a developmental edit take?
Turnaround depends on your manuscript's length and my current workload, but most projects take 2-4 weeks. I'll always confirm a clear timeline with you before we begin, so you know exactly what to expect.
