Heart & Plot Editing

Romance & Fiction Developmental Editor

Your romance deserves an editor who knows the genre from the inside. I read your manuscript the way readers will, then show you what's working and what's holding it back.

What I look at

I know what romance readers expect because I write for them


  • A romance arc that earns the ending
  • Tension that keeps pages turning
  • Pacing and structure, scene by scene
  • Characters whose choices make sense
  • Tropes and heat level that fit your subgenre
  • An HEA or HFN that lands

I'll tell you honestly and kindly what's working, what isn't, and exactly how to fix it.

Why authors work with me

An editor who is also a working author

I've helped countless authors go from first idea to publication, and I run email marketing and BookFunnel and BookClicker promos for my own pen names and for author clients.
