About this Gig

Bring your romance novel to life with clear, immersive, and error-free prose.


Writing a romance novel takes immense passion, but tiny grammar slips, awkward dialogue, or pacing issues can pull a reader right out of the emotional connection. I provide thorough, thoughtful copy editing and proofreading tailored specifically to the romance genre and its unique subgenres (contemporary, dark romance, historical, romantasy, and romantic suspense).


What I check for:

  • Spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors (following the Chicago Manual of Style)
  • Awkward phrasing, scene pacing, and realistic dialogue flow
  • Consistency in character traits, timeline details, and world-building
  • Word choice, emotional resonance, and "show, don't tell" improvements


What you will receive upon delivery:

  1. Tracked Changes Document: A Microsoft Word file showing every single red edit, correction, and margin comment.
  2. Clean Copy
  3. Editing Summary Report: Brief editorial notes highlighting the strengths of your manuscript and overall impressions.
