THE ROMANCE GENRE SPECIALIST

Wondering what line editing is, and if your romance novel needs it?


The short answer? Probably. 


Because romance novel line editing looks at:
-characterization
-dialogue formatting
-grammar/spelling
-clarity
-narrative unity
-chapter openers and closers
-style


And all of these elements affect the way a reader interacts with your story and its characters. 


Line editing is often the type of editing writers struggle with most, but I'm here to make it easy on you. 


I don't just tell you what's wrong and send you off to fix it. I show you exactly how to improve and strengthen your writing and story, coaching you through each change so you don't just get a bunch of red text and a terse comment. You get kind, honest, encouraging guidance.


 
Price: 

$0.01/£0.008 per word for lead magnets*

$0.02/£0.015 per word for romance authors**

$0.025/£0.020 word for romance publishers***

 
**Wondering why my rates for lead magnets are less expensive? They don't make authors and publishers like you money . . . at least, not directly. Instead, lead magnets help you grow your readership and mailing lists, leading to more eventual sales. But lead magnets still need well-written stories—they're often a reader's first impression of your books!—so my lower rate helps authors and publishers like you afford to put your best foot forward, on a budget.

**When line editing work written by romance authors, I fix simple issues in the manuscript and guide you through fixing more in-depth issues like characterization, narrative unity, and chapter openers and closers. 

***When line editing work written by romance ghostwriters, I accommodate the more demanding publishing schedules of romance publishers by fixing all the issues related to line editing in the manuscript and sending a revision letter you can give to your ghostwriter with advice on simple tweaks they can make to their style to reduce errors and redundancies and strengthen future stories.
