Now taking editing projects for August 2026
Need an affordable romance editor, ghostwriter, book marketer, or author assistant?
You've come to the right place.
Here, you'll find services from me, Emily Keyes, seasoned romance ghostwriter, editor, book marketer, and author assistant.
I work with all sub-genres of romance except dark, horror, and mafia. I also work with all sub-genres of romantic cozy mysteries, and can handle all triggers except rape and dub-con. I especially love to work with fellow queer and disabled authors, and my current favourite romance to edit is a tie between hockey romance and angsty romantasy.

Want to make sure your story hits all the right notes for your readers? Book a developmental edit where I'll assess the building blocks of your romance novel—characters, tropes, sub-genre, plot, and setting—and show you how to strengthen them for an even better story.

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 sales and reviews and provide general advice on how to fix them.
$350-400/£259-297, depending on word count
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.

Romance Book Marketing Services
A good blurb is one of the most ways of raising your book's visibility. But writing it? Not so easy. Sure, you could use AI, but you'll miss out on important keywords, and that certain human touch readers are looking for. That's why I offer cover bespoke romance book blurbs. I've written 100+ for authors just like you.
