I will be your developmental editor for romance and thriller manuscripts
About this Gig
Does your romance or thriller manuscript feel like something's missing? Maybe the tension drops in the middle. Maybe your plot twist doesn't land.
As a developmental editor, I look at the big picture: structure, pacing, and story before you publish.
I specialize in developmental editing and manuscript feedback for romance and thriller fiction. I also work with literary fiction and non-fiction when the story needs a stronger structure.
What You Get:
- Full developmental edit focused on plot, structure, and pacing
- Genre-specific feedback for romance and thriller readers
- Manuscript critique on character arcs and story stakes
- Correction notes on weak scenes and slow chapters
- A clear feedback report with practical fixes, not just problems
I've worked with authors preparing manuscripts for Kindle Direct and traditional publishing. I know what romance and thriller readers expect, and I help you close the gap between "#good" and "#unputdownable."
This isn't just proofreading; it's a full look at whether your story works.

FAQ
What does a developmental editor actually do?
A developmental editor looks at your manuscript's structure: plot, pacing, stakes, and character arcs. It's a deeper edit than proofreading or basic beta reading.
Do you only work on romance and thriller?
Those are my specialties, but I also take literary fiction and non-fiction if the story needs structural feedback.
Is this the same as a beta read?
Similar, but deeper. A developmental edit includes structural feedback and manuscript critique, not just reader reactions.
Will you tell me how to fix the problems you find?
Yes. Every critique includes practical suggestions, not just a list of issues.
What if my manuscript is longer than 10,000 words?
Message me first. I can quote a custom rate for longer manuscripts outside the Premium package.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Your manuscript and ideas stay confidential. I'm happy to sign an NDA if you provide one, or use Fiverr's built-in confidentiality terms.
