Amazon BR bestseller, critical reader with seven years experience
About this Gig
Hi! I'm Victoria, and as a writer myself, I know how easy it is to develop blind spots in our own stories. A fresh pair of eyes before you publish or query can make all the difference, and I'm here to help your manuscript become the best version it can be.
What you'll get:
- Honest, constructive feedback on your plot, pacing and character development
- Romance-focused notes: chemistry, tension, and how your tropes land
- Highlights of your strengths, so you know what's already working
- Sensitivity reading for authentic Black and LGBTQ+ characters, flagging harmful clichés, tropes and stereotypes
Romance is my specialty, and 18+ content is welcome, including kinks and dark themes! Just let me know what to expect so I can tailor my feedback. Writing in another genre and could use sensitivity reading? Message me first so we can make sure I'm the right fit.
Please note: this is not a proofreading service. I'll point out grammar mistakes if I spot them, but they are not the focus.

FAQ
What genres do you accept?
My specialty is romance, and I welcome spice, kinks, and dark themes. If you write in other genres and would like to work with me, please message me so we can chat and make sure I'm the right fit for your story.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. Your work stays private, is only used for your feedback, and is never shared. I delete your manuscript from my device once your order is complete.
Do you proofread or correct grammar? Will you rewrite my manuscript?
No. I focus on story, character development, pacing and sensitivity. You'll get notes and suggestions, but all changes are up to you as the author. I'll point out grammar mistakes if I spot them, but this isn't a proofreading or copy editing service.
What format do you accept for manuscripts?
Word documents (.docx) only. If you write in Google Docs, just go to File > Download > Microsoft Word and upload that file.
What if my manusctipt is longer than your packages?
I'm happy to work with you! Please purchase the extra word add-ons in 10k increments, or contact me for a custom offer if your manuscript is very long. We can make it work!
How will I receive your feedback?
You'll receive a reader's report as a PDF with all my notes. Any comments in the manuscript are an occasional bonus, not part of the package.
What counts as a revision?
A revision is one round of follow-up questions about my feedback. Standard and Premium include one; extra rounds can be added at checkout. Re-reading a revised draft counts as a new read, so message me for a custom offer.
What should I include with my order?
Your genre, tropes, heat level, and any content warnings. If there's anything specific you want me to look at (a character, the ending, a particular representation), let me know!
Is there any content you won't read?
I welcome dark themes (including morally grey characters, violence, and taboo topics) and kinks. Please include content warnings so I know what to expect. My hard limits: no sexual content involving minors or animals.
What if I don't agree with your feedback?
That's okay! My notes are one reader's perspective, and you know your story best. My job is to give honest, constructive feedback, but it's up to you to use what helps and leave the rest.
