About this Gig
Are you a romantasy or fantasy author starting at a messy draft (or half draft) knowing it has potential but struggling to see the path forwards. A writer who is certain something is a little off, but cant quite pinpoint what exactly.
I offer thoughtful, focused, and constructive feedback to help you write the very best version of your novel possible. Your developmental feedback will always include:
- Big-picture editorial commentary on plot, structure, pacing, characters, worldbuilding, and more - if you need it.
- Strategic notes, recommendations, and guidance.
And, if requested: in-line comments throughout your document that highlight stand-out positives, and flag places where revisions might strengthen your story.
I refuse to be the kind of editor who storms in with a red pen and a list of everything thats wrong. My goal is to create a calm, thoughtful, and grounded space where we celebrate the brilliant work you've put in so far and then look at the opportunities for development.
Whether you're writing to self-publish, you have plans to query agents, or you're writing for the sheer joy of crafting a story I want you to enjoy the journey and write the best book possible.

FAQ
Do you offer developmental editing or beta reading?
I provide developmental editing and manuscript feedback focused on big-picture story elements such as plot structure, character arcs, pacing, worldbuilding, and emotional impact. Whilst my service goes beyond beta-reading, it does combine a reader's and a professionals perspective.
What genres do you specialise in?
I specialise in romantasy, fantasy romance, and romantic fantasy. I'm well read within these genres and therefore understand expectations and what readers love from novels in this space.
Is this a line edit or proofreading service?
No. This is big-picture story editing, not line editing or proofreading. I focus on narrative structure, character development, pacing, stakes, and emotional resonance rather than grammar corrections or sentence-level polishing.
Can you edit my full novel manuscript?
Yes. I offer feedback on both partial manuscripts and full-length novels (up to 80k words, with options for longer manuscripts). This includes a comprehensive editorial summary and actionable revision guidance.
Is this suitable if I’m preparing to query agents or self-publish?
Absolutely. Developmental editing is ideal before querying literary agents or investing in line editing. It ensures your story structure, character arcs, and pacing are strong before moving to publication stages.
Do you work with first-time authors?
Yes. I regularly provide manuscript critiques for debut authors as well as experienced writers. Feedback is clear, constructive, and designed to support your growth as a writer.
