About me
Hi, I’m Ritika, a romance developmental editor, founder of Kiss and Critique book editing service, and a professionally paid overthinker of your plot. If your story feels a little off but you can’t tell why (or you’re hoping it’ll magically fix itself… it won’t), I’m your person. I give honest, actionable feedback on plot, pacing, characters, romance arc, and emotional payoff. No vague comments, no sugarcoating, no soul-crushing edits. Your story keeps its spark. I just make sure it doesn’t fall apart on page 47.

Romance Developmental Editor
Kiss and Critique • Self-employed
Dec 2022 - Present • 3 yrs 10 mos
Founder of Kiss and Critique, where I work with romance writers to fix what’s not working at the structural level, before it turns into a full-blown “why does this feel off?” crisis. I’ve worked with both indie and bestselling authors, from messy first drafts to manuscripts that are almost there but not quite hitting the mark. Different writers, same goal: make the story actually work. I specialise in spotting the issues quietly sabotaging your story, like uneven pacing, weak turning points, inconsistent character motivation, and emotional arcs that almost land… but don’t. My feedback is detailed, practical, and actually usable. Writers leave with clear direction, stronger story foundations, and a much better grip on what their story is doing (and what it should be doing).

Working with Ritika was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. If I could give her ten stars, I would! My manuscript is complex, layered, and not always easy to untangle, and Ritika handled that complexity with incredible clarity and care. She paid close attention to the smallest details...

Ritika is amazing. Words aren't enough to praise her. She is professional, thorough, and kind, yet doesn't hold back in her critique of what would make the work better; dependable, timely, and exceptionally perceptive. This is my fifth book with Ritika, and I will use her for the rest of my series. Ritika...

Thank you so much for reading my very silly manuscript! I am laughing my way through the comments - this is the most fun I've had with editing in a long time. I always appreciate your keen eye for both big picture story issues and details that are working in the story, too.
