About this Gig

You finished your manuscript, but you cant shake the feeling it isnt ready. The middle drags, the romantic tension fizzles, the plot has holes you cant see anymore, or beta readers keep giving you vague feedback. Every day it sits unpolished is a day it isnt reaching readers. I fix that, with real human editing, not AI shortcuts.


I offer developmental editing, line editing, and copy editing for dark romance, romantasy, and fiction across genres, so wherever your draft is, I meet you there and take it to the next level.



What you get:

  • A clear editorial report on plot, pacing, and character arcs (developmental)
  • Line by line edits for flow, voice, and prose (line editing)
  • Grammar, consistency, and technical corrections (copy editing)
  • Honest, specific feedback you can actually act on


This is for you if:

  • Your draft feels "off" but you can't pinpoint why
  • You want stronger pacing, tighter prose, or cleaner writing
  • You're prepping to query, self-publish, or hand off to beta readers


Message me with your genre, word count, and which service you need, and I'll confirm timeline and pricing. Let's get your novel reader ready.
