Now taking editing projects for August 2026
Need an affordable romance editor, ghostwriter, or book marketer?
You've come to the right place.
Here, you'll find services from me, Emily Keyes, romance genre specialist.
I work with
-all levels of steam, from closed door to super kinky
-all sub-genres except dark, horror, and mafia
-all character pairings, including polyamorous, omegaverse, and LGBTQIA+
-all triggers except on-page rape and dub-con. Reference on the page to these is fine; detailed scenes are unfortunately not something I can work with.
Disabled or chronically ill? So am I, and I love to work with others in my community, because the romance genre needs to see more of us getting the happy endings (of both the sexy and story variety) we deserve.

Your book deserves a developmental edit to make your characters and story shine, but if it's outside your publishing budget, don't worry. A manuscript evaluation will review your romance novel for the big-picture issues that could affect your sales and reviews and provide general advice on how to fix them.

Your voice and style are what set your book apart from all the others. Book a copy/line edit with me and we'll define that voice, amplify that style, and smooth out any hiccups in your book so when readers pick it up, they can't put it back down.

Treat your readers to the best version of your manuscript, the one free of lingering errors and issues that might trip up their flow and affect their experience of the book you worked so hard on. Book a proofread where I'll look for switched em and en dashes, incorrect hyphenation, inconsistent capitalisation, spelling and grammar mistakes, and other errors that have slipped through your copy/line edit.
