About this Gig
Does your romance have engaging characters but weak chemistry, uneven pacing, or an emotional arc that needs work?
I provide developmental editing for contemporary romance, helping you strengthen the story while preserving your voice.
What I assess:
- Romantic chemistry and relationship progression
- Character goals, motivations, and emotional arcs
- Plot structure, conflict, and pacing
- Dialogue, viewpoint, and scene purpose
- Continuity and the effectiveness of your ending, where included
You receive:
- Your Word manuscript with editorial comments
- An editorial report explaining strengths and weaknesses
- A prioritised revision checklist
Each package includes one developmental pass on the stated word count.
This is story-level editing, not full line editing, copyediting, proofreading, rewriting, or formatting.
Opening-chapter orders assess only the submitted section; please include a synopsis for context.
One clarification revision is included. Substantially revised or new text requires a separate order.
For longer novels, message me with your word count, subgenre, editing goals, and a short sample.

FAQ
What does developmental editing include?
I assess story-level elements such as plot, pacing, character motivation, romantic chemistry, emotional progression, viewpoint, and scene purpose. You receive manuscript comments, an editorial report, and prioritised revision guidance.
Can you edit my complete romance novel?
Yes, through an agreed custom offer if the manuscript exceeds the listed word limits. Send your word count, subgenre, editing goals, and a short sample before ordering so I can assess scope and availability.
Do you edit romantasy or dark romance?
Please message me first with a synopsis and relevant content notes. I will confirm whether the manuscript fits my editorial skills and content boundaries before accepting an order.
