Why the Editor of Your Romance Novel Should Specialize in Romance
Hello, romance author! You’re here because you’ve written a romance novel. You know your readers are expecting an entertaining central love story and an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending, but something about the story feels “off,” and you’re not sure what it is or how to fix it. You need an editor who knows how to give readers that central love story and emotionally satisfying ending. You need an editor who specializes in the romance genre.
This is where I come in.
(Cue music. It's Jump Around by House of Pain. I fling open the door. I'm wearing a tutu, but it's not weird, because you're wearing a cape. We both go bananas.)
I’m Christine Parker. I am a book editor from Cleveland, Ohio and I specialize in editing romance novels. I’ve been reading romance since 1999, writing romance since 2013, and editing romance professionally since 2018. I understand romantic story arc, how to develop a fictional romantic relationship, and can help you with the delicate craft of writing believable sexual tension and emotional connection. If your draft feels “off,” we’ll figure out how to fix it.
You know the value of professional editing, and *I* know that having your book professionally edited is terrifying. I'm a writer too. I know how hard it can be to hear your baby criticized. And who are we kidding? Your book is definitely your baby. You love your characters and are passionate about their story, and you deserve to work with an editor who not only respects your genre and your work but enthusiastically enjoys it.
I approach my editorial work from a place of love, kindness, and positivity, with a focus on writing craft. My number one goal is to make sure my clients have a wonderful editing experience, and that means I will support you throughout your entire publishing journey.
My number two goal is to make sure your romance novel is every bit as squeee-worthy as you imagined, and that means I will push you as a writer, because remarkable stories require a remarkable amount of hard work. If you are serious about writing and are prepared to learn new skills, improve your craft, and write the best damn romance novel I know you’re capable of, I am the romance editor for you.
Let’s work together. Check out my list of editing services for romance authors here and email me at info@chickadeerevisions.com to get started.
If you’d like to learn more or aren’t sure which service is right for your manuscript, please get in touch! I'm happy to take a look at your draft so we can figure out the best approach.
I’m so excited to help you turn your story into the romance book of your dreams! ♥
