Free editorial feedback for romance manuscript excerpts

Hi everyone! I’m a professional technical writer with 2 years of experience in writing, editing, and content strategy. I’m currently trying to transition into commercial publishing, with a focus on romance and romantasy. For part of this, I’m building a small editorial portfolio.

I’m looking for a handful of romance writers who would be interested in a free developmental edit (e.g. developmental structure, pacing) or copy edit of a 5,000 to 10,000 word manuscript excerpt. I’m particularly interested in contemporary romance, romantasy, and fantasy romance.

In return, I’d ask for permission to include an anonymised excerpt of the edited work in my professional portfolio. Your work would remain yours, and I wouldn’t share the full manuscript.
If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM me with a little about your project! All the best! ✨⭐️

Potential career shift?

Hi all! I'm getting ready to move from NZ to Canada, and am hoping to slightly shift fields.

I have my Master's in biomedical science and have spent the last two years working as a technical writer. I absolutely love my job as a writer but I'm looking to shift to a data-forward role. In an ideal world, I'd love to work as a book data analysis.

I don't have any "formal" data education, but I have data analysis experience from my Master's degree. I'm planning on doing some online training prior to moving, (i.e. SQL training) but I was wondering whether anyone had any additional insight or suggestions?

If anyone has any suggestions for companies within Canada that are hiring in this field, I'd be extremely grateful!

Thank you all in advance!

P.S. Please be nice as I am a newbie (and am obviously a bit delulu).
