FAQ
Do you edit romance, fantasy, and romantasy specifically, or any genre?
My focus is genre fiction romance, dark romance, fantasy, and romantasy. I know the tropes, pacing expectations, and reader conventions these genres run on (slow burns, HEA/HFN, found family, enemies-to-lovers, etc.), so my notes are genre-aware, not generic.
What exactly is included in a developmental edit?
I review your manuscript's big picture elements: plot structure, pacing, character arcs, romantic/relational tension, world-building consistency, and voice. You'll receive an editorial letter plus in-line comments not line-by-line grammar fixes (that's copyediting, which I can also discuss).
My draft was written with AI assistance. Can you still edit it?
Yes. I edit the manuscript in front of me regardless of drafting method. I'll flag anything that reads flat, repetitive, or inconsistent common issues in AI-assisted drafts and give you a clear roadmap to fix it.
How long does a developmental edit take?
Turnaround depends on manuscript length typically 3–5 days for a chapter sample, 7–10 days for a partial manuscript, and 2–3 weeks for a full novel. Message me your word count for an exact timeline before ordering.
What format should I send my manuscript in?
A Word document (.docx) works best so I can leave in-line comments using Track Changes. Google Docs is fine too.
Will you also fix grammar and typos?
Developmental editing focuses on structure and story, not line-level grammar. I'll flag major clarity issues, but for full grammar/copyediting I recommend a separate pass after revisions — happy to discuss add-on pricing.
My book is longer than the Premium package word count. What then?
No problem send me your total word count and I'll send a custom offer scaled to your manuscript length.
Do you sign an NDA or keep my manuscript confidential?
Absolutely. Your manuscript and story ideas are treated as fully confidential and are never shared, quoted, or used elsewhere. A couple of placement tips: put the AI-assisted and spicy/dark content questions near the top — those are the two hesitations most likely to make a romance/romantasy author
