— ABOUT MELISSA REED
Most editors will tell you they edit romance.
I actually read it.
That difference matters more than it sounds. An editor who genuinely loves the genre - who understands what an omergaverse reader arrives expecting, what makes a dark romance dark in the right way, what earned chemistry looks like versus declared chemistry - gives you feedback that serves your story and your readers.
I am also an editor who will work with AI-generated and AI-assisted manuscripts to help you achieve the best version of your vision. I have developed a methodology that helps to detect and fix ‘AI Tells.’ If your draft was written with AI assistance, I will not judge it. I will diagnose it and help you correct it.
Genre Knowledge is non-negotiable
You cannot edit romance without understanding its conventions, its reader promises, and its market.
Honesty over comfort
You paid for my professional assessment. I will tell you what is working and what is not.
Your vision, not mine
Every note I give is in service of the story you are trying to tell — not the story I would write.
Strengths matter as much as problems
Knowing what to protect in revision is just as important as knowing what to fix.
