Romance Book Editing, Done with Heart 💕

I'm a romance-specialized proofreader and copyeditor—not a generalist who "also" does romance. Romance fiction is what I read, what I study, and the only genre I edit. That focus means I know the genre conventions, pacing expectations, and reader promises that make a romance novel work, across contemporary, historical, sweet, spicy, and everything in between.

Your story matters—your voice, your rhythm, your emotional beats. My job is to protect all of that while giving you a clean, confident, reader-ready book. I'm here to make the editing process feel supportive, collaborative, and clear, whether this is your first book or your fifteenth.

Professional editing is an investment in your book’s success—and in your reputation as an author. I also believe every author deserves a polished manuscript—and not just the ones with a big marketing budget behind them. That's why I offer a Debut Author Rate alongside my standard pricing. If this is your first book, or your just getting your feet under you as a published author, you qualify for the lower rate—no questions asked (well, maybe one—see below*).

Which rate do I qualify for?

Debut Author Rate is for authors publishing their first book, or those still early in their publishing journey without an established backlist. Just let me know at booking—I'll take you at your word.

Standard Rate applies to returning clients and authors with an established backlist.

Payment Plans & Flexible Pricing

I know publishing costs add up, and I want editing to feel accessible, not out of reach. Payment plans are available for all services—just ask when you inquire. For authors facing genuine financial hardship, limited need-based pricing may also be available on a case-by-case basis. Reach out and let's talk about what could work for you.

Why My Rates Are What They Are

I believe in transparent, honest pricing. My rates reflect:

• A dedicated focus on romance fiction—not a generalist rate applied to every genre
• Advanced proofreading and copyediting skills, sharpened specifically on romance manuscripts
• A voice-safe editing style that protects your tone
• Fast, reliable communication
• A warm, supportive editing experience
• A clean, professional final product
• A process designed specifically for indie romance authors
• Consistency you can trust

I don't just fix typos—I help you create a book you feel proud of.
