Romance Novel Critique & Edit

I have a completed romance manuscript that needs a professional eye on the story itself rather than a light proofread. I’m specifically looking for a thorough evaluation of plot, overall structure, and how convincingly the characters arc across the pages. Please dig deep into pacing, tension, scene order, internal motivations, and relationship chemistry so I know what truly works and what falls flat.

What I expect from you: a detailed critique. Line-by-line comments inside the document are welcome, but the heart of the job is an editorial report that walks me through strengths, weaknesses, and concrete suggestions for restructuring or enhancing character development. Feel free to flag any glaring grammar or punctuation slips you notice as you go, though I’m not asking for a full copy-edit at this stage.

Deliverables
• An annotated manuscript (Word or Google Docs with track changes / comments).
• A separate editorial letter summarising major issues, chapter-by-chapter observations, and clear, actionable recommendations.

If you’ve previously edited romance and can point to titles that benefited from your story-level guidance, that will help me gauge fit. Looking forward to your insights.
