Beta Reader And Developmental Editor for NA and YA Fiction story Writers
About this Gig
Your story deserves to be told and told well.
You gave your story your time, your emotions, and pieces of yourself. But deep down, you can feel it; something is not connecting the way it should. Maybe the story loses energy in certain places, or the emotional moments fail to connect with readers fully.
I'm a developmental editor specializing in New Adult (NA) and Young Adult (YA) contemporary and romance fiction. I don't just tell you what isn't working, I show you why and give you a clear, actionable roadmap to fix it.
What I look at:
- Plot structure & story arc
- Character development & motivation
- Pacing & scene-by-scene flow
- Emotional resonance & reader experience
- Point of view & narrative voice
- Romance arc & relationship dynamics
- Theme & subtext
Why work with me?

FAQ
What's the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Developmental editing looks at the big picture: your plot, characters, pacing, and emotional arc. It's about making your story stronger. Proofreading focuses on grammar and spelling. I recommend developmental editing before any line editing
Do I need a complete manuscript to order?
For the Basic package, a partial manuscript (minimum 10,000 words) is fine. For Standard and Premium, I recommend a complete or near-complete draft so the feedback covers your full story arc.
How do you deliver the feedback?
You'll receive a detailed editorial letter as a PDF, plus an annotated version of your manuscript with inline comments (Standard & Premium).
Can I message you before ordering?
Absolutely, I encourage it! Every manuscript is unique, and I want to make sure we're a great fit before you invest. Drop me a message and tell me about your story!
