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 6 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).

This was my first story and first developmental edit ever. It was incredibly worth it. No matter how many times I looked at my story, I knew there were issues. It got to the point that I didn't know where all the problems were. Ritika was meticulous in explaining what worked and what didn't. She didn't...

Ritika delivered exactly what I needed: honest, structured feedback from someone who actually understands romance as a genre. I hired her to beta test an interactive fiction platform, which is outside a typical beta read, and she adapted immediately. Her report covered pacing, POV consistency, character...

Ritika's comments are so helpful! I really appreciate her feedback in sorting out this particular book - it's been stickier to write than I had hoped for, but we will get there with Ritika's thoughtful critique.

I can't recommend working with Ritika enough and would do so again in a heartbeat. I hired her for beta reading, and not only did she identify problems keeping a good book from being great, she offered actionable feedback for improvement. She also sprinkled in enough positive comments to soothe the imposter syndrome ;)

This is my second time working with Ritika and it once more such a JOY. Her commentary was super helpful and uplifting (glad I could get those kinds of reactions :D) She answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me a great reader report. She is probably one of the best beta readers I've worked with and would recommend her every time!
