FAQ
What genres do I accept?
​I specialise in the following genres: romance and erotica. This includes short stories to full-length novels. ​I accept requests for any type of romance story, whether that would be contemporary, historical, erotic, suspense etc. I also accept requests for any erotic story, including short smut stories.
There is no judgement here; therefore, you do not have to worry about any 'taboo' kinks or potential trigger warnings your story may include as long as the participating characters are aged 18 and above.
​​​I am happy to proofread and/or edit related genres like fantasy novels with romantic subplots or proofread dissertations about the romance/erotica genre. Please message me for details.
​​Do I offer samples?
Yes. I offer a free sample of my work for the proofreading and copyediting services but not for editorial assessments.

How do I work?
​I work on Word. I use the 'Track Changes' function to show you my corrections. I then add comments to justify why I have made certain changes and to add suggestions. If applicable, at the start of the given document, I give overall feedback on the draft.
For an editorial assessment, I create a specific feedback sheet using Word.
​Do I use a style guide and, if so, which one?
​I do. I use style guides available online to ensure consistency in your work. ​
