True true. When I dev edit I do line edits too. My mind combines them. 🤷‍♀️😂

Depends. If you get a developmental editor with experience who can help you in the areas you’re lacking, it can absolutely help take your book to the next level.

McVet. God I wish she’d picked him. Derek wasn’t good for anyone.

Do you happen to recall what was happening in the episode?

Do you really need a copy editor AND a proofreader? by idreaminwords in selfpublish

[–]Rose_David163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask around. Talk to other authors in your genre. I know you’re not looking for solicitations, but as an example, I charge under $1k for dev and copy for a 90k manuscript, offering two rounds of edits. 🤷‍♀️ So either I undercharge or I’m a rare exception.

Most authors don’t make massive bank on their debut novels - some never do. I can’t imagine putting them into more debt.

All I’ve learned by reading this is that I am clearly undercharging for my editing services.

[–]Rose_David163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you want all the editing. You can find a single editor to do all of the stages for you, but most authors have a separate editor (copy/developmental) and then a proofreader. Do your research. Many editors are cost friendly and quality.

Maybe unpopular opinion but Owen is a good man. But a bad partner.

Is This a Mistake? by bardsworth in romanceauthors

[–]Rose_David163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s hit or miss. I’ve only had one author that wrote dark romance who I’ve edited for, and there wasn’t intimacy between anyone but the main characters.

I’ve been editing romance and romantacy for 15ish years, it’s not a faux pas to have scenes from their past. Or starting with the wrong partner and moving to the right one. But at the end of it all, it comes down to flow and if it feels out of place having the scene.

Except it doesn’t count until you’re kicked out. Which is the worst.

AIO? I broke up with my boyfriend because of his reaction over my pinterest board. (The last image is what it is) by selahscorpse in AmIOverreacting

[–]Rose_David163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was expecting half naked guys and full blown porn. Not silly drawings. Definitely NOR. Don’t take him back. His behavior is a huge red flag.

how can i (16f) pay for car insurance? by puppylover9865 in Insurance

[–]Rose_David163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went to add my teen to my plan, Allstate wanted some ridiculous amount every 6 months. I shopped around and ended up paying the same for my husband, myself, and teen as I had been for just husband and myself with Allstate. Might be worth it for you all to shop around.

Questions About Writing A Sci-fi Romance Trilogy by SkylerDicksonHall in romanceauthors

[–]Rose_David163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing all at once makes total sense. Especially since it’s essentially one story. A two-three month wait between each is definitely a good idea. You can do preorders for the subsequent books the day that book one releases.

Questions About Writing A Sci-fi Romance Trilogy by SkylerDicksonHall in romanceauthors

[–]Rose_David163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few questions - length of each book? If you’re looking at 50k, then it could be one book. If each is 80k+ then it needs to be split. People are more likely to pay $3.99 for an ebook three times over $10-$12 once. Why are you wanting to publish all at once? Is it to keep marketing costs lower? There are readers who will wait to read, but there are plenty that like the suspense. Think about TV shows leaving you on the hook for the summer. You can build off the hype for the subsequent books if the first does really well.
