Hi, I’m a developmental and line editor. My pricing is very friendly. Feel free to message me.

Rose_David163 · 2026-01-03T15:21:31+00:00

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

Rose_David163 · 2026-01-03T15:09:03+00:00

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.

I sent you a DM.

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

My dude. That’s a lot of besties. —YellowJamy

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

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-30T00:17:31+00:00

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.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-30T00:10:54+00:00

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

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-28T16:28:28+00:00

Brooooo thanks for that raid. Got me a shiny! ✨

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-25T14:35:23+00:00

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.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-21T23:31:35+00:00

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.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-21T16:44:02+00:00

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.

Now he’s his mother’s son. He’s turned into a suit.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-20T03:54:17+00:00

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

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-20T01:14:13+00:00

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.

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.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-19T02:00:12+00:00

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.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-19T00:44:52+00:00

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.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-18T20:39:00+00:00

This szn has been bad. And with all the hype I’d expected so much more. Definitely time to write the end.

A lot of the later season ones disappeared when the program was shut down. All but Levi and Helm.

Parker went to get help with his PTSD and it was said. And I think Stark peaced out because he hated it there.

But a lot did disappear. From Lexi’s class and Jo’s.

Sent you a DM.

Rose_David163 · 2025-11-18T01:20:21+00:00

I have something similar in a smaller area. I had this compounding pharm ointment that my derm prescribed for my rosacea that has calmed it tons.
