Here’s How I Work
I edit from the perspective of an experienced romance reader first and an editor second, because readers—not rulebooks—are the ones who ultimately fall in love with your story.
My job isn’t to rewrite your book. It’s to help your readers experience it the way you intended.
I’ll celebrate what’s already working, help untangle what isn’t, and leave you excited to dive back into your manuscript—not intimidated by the process.
Whether you write sweet or scorching, contemporary or paranormal, romantasy or small town, every romance is welcome here.
Find Your Starting Point
Every manuscript is at a different stage, and every author has different needs. Whether you want honest reader feedback, sentence-level polishing, or a final proofread, the goal is always the same: to help your readers experience your story the way you intended.
First Chapter Review
If you’re thinking…
“I love my story… I just don’t know if my opening is strong enough.”
A First Chapter Review tells you whether the meet cute between your book and its reader is working.
Drawing on years of experience reading submissions for romance publishers and editing romance, I’ll share what pulled me in, what gave me pause, and whether your opening made me eager to turn the page.
You’ll leave with honest feedback and a better understanding of how your opening lands with romance readers.

Alpha Reading
If you’re thinking…
“I need someone to tell me honestly if this story is actually working.”
Alpha Reading gives you honest feedback while your story is still flexible.
I’ll read your manuscript as a romance reader first, sharing what kept me turning the page, where I wanted more, and the moments that deserve your attention—without overwhelming you with editorial jargon.
You’ll leave with a clearer direction and a fresh perspective.

Beta Reading
If you’re thinking…
“I think it’s finished, but I need to know if readers will love it the way I hope they will.”
Beta Reading shows you how readers are likely to experience your story before it reaches the world.
I’ll share what readers are going to love, where they might want just a little more, and the places that could keep them from fully falling in love with your story.
You’ll leave knowing what readers are likely to remember long after they reach “The End”—and what may be standing in the way of that experience.

Editing
Line Editing
If you’re thinking…
“The story is there… I just need the writing to sound as good as it feels in my head.”
Line Editing polishes your prose while protecting the voice that makes your story yours.
Together, we’ll strengthen rhythm, clarity, dialogue, emotion, pacing, and flow so every sentence keeps readers immersed in your story. I’ll also point out bigger-picture issues I notice along the way, because I can’t help reading like a romance reader first.
You’ll leave with cleaner, stronger prose that still sounds unmistakably like you.
Investment: $0.023 / word
First Edition Pricing available until December 31, 2026.
Copy Editing
If you’re thinking…
“I love this draft. I just need someone to catch everything I can’t see anymore.”
Copy Editing is where all the little details come together.
I’ll smooth grammar, punctuation, consistency, continuity, and word choice while carefully protecting the voice you’ve worked so hard to create. Every change is made with the goal of keeping readers immersed in your story.
You’ll leave with a polished manuscript that’s ready for the final proofread before publication.

First Edition Pricing available until December 31, 2026.
Proofreading
If you’re thinking…
“I’m almost there… I just want to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.”
Proofreading is the final polish before your story meets the world.
I’ll carefully review your formatted manuscript for lingering spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, and consistency errors, catching the small details that are easy to miss after multiple rounds of revisions.
You’ll leave with the confidence that your manuscript is polished, professional, and ready for readers.
