Romantasy Manuscript Developmental Edit - FREE

Hello, romantasy authors!

My name’s Audrey, and I’m an avid romantasy reader (100+ books a year in the genre) as well as a romantasy writer myself.

I’m currently building my developmental editing portfolio and am looking for 3–5 romantasy authors interested in receiving a free developmental edit in exchange for a testimonial and permission to anonymously use a few sample pages of editorial feedback in my future portfolio.

I’m specifically looking for completed manuscripts between 70k–120k words (a bit of wiggle room here).

My developmental edits will focus on:

  • plot & pacing
  • character arcs
  • emotional tension
  • romance development
  • scene structure
  • worldbuilding integration
  • reader engagement & immersion

What’s included:
• a detailed editorial letter with manuscript-wide feedback
• in-manuscript comments throughout your draft
• chapter-by-chapter feedback
• reader reaction notes
• a prioritized revision roadmap to help make edits feel manageable and actionable

I’m especially drawn to dark fantasy/romantasy, morally gray characters, enemies-to-lovers, political intrigue, and emotionally immersive stories!

Also important: I will never plug any portion of your manuscript into AI tools or language models. Chat GPT shall be avoided like the plague :)

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to DM me so we can chat further!
