Big Picture Edit
If your draft feels “off”—maybe you can’t quite put your finger on why—a Big Picture Edit can help you get unstuck. This is a mini developmental edit focused on what matters most in romance: story structure, character arcs, romantic pacing, and (of course) that emotional payoff. I’ll make sure your ending delivers a truly satisfying HEA (happily ever after) or HFN (happy for now). You’ll get clear, actionable feedback and a personalized plan to move forward—so you can stop spinning your wheels and start revising with confidence.
Perfect for you if:
- You have a finished draft but something just isn’t working
- You’re worried the love story isn’t landing the way you hoped
- You want focused, strategic revision support—fast

TESTIMONIALS
“Without you, I would have given up. And I’m so glad that I didn’t!”
~ Brooke Smith
“I loved our call. I can now see the entire book in my head where before there were just question marks and with that, I think I can actually get it done a lot quicker than I thought I would! I’m not even afraid of starting over because I know I have a good foundation and a map!”
