Fantasy · Romantasy · Romance
Somewhere in this draft is the book you meant to write.
Developmental editing and story coaching from a romance and romantasy editor.
I help you find what’s not working, and shape it into the book you meant to write.
You Might Be Here Because…
- Your story isn't landing the way you hoped, even though you can see the potential in it
- Something feels off, but you can't quite name what it is
- You keep going back to the same sections, rewriting and adjusting, but it never really settles
- The pacing feels uneven, or the emotional moments don't land the way you imagined
- You're starting to lose confidence in the story, even though you still care about it deeply
…and you're not entirely sure what the next step should be anymore.
You don't have to stay stuck trying to figure this out on your own.

Developmental EditingWhat Authors Say
"Elin's feedback and comments were amazing! She caught a lot of stuff that I hadn't noticed. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone I know looking for an editor."
Arya WaltonContemporary Romance
"Elin is a fantastic book coach! She is courteous and professional. The wealth of knowledge and understanding she brings as a writer to her coaching clients is invaluable and has helped me grow in my writing as I prepare to publish my first book. I look forward to working with her again in the future."
Michelle S.Sweet Contemporary Small Town Romance
"Plotting novels is not my thing, but I really wanted to try it out to see how I'd do. Elin helped me and she was extremely thorough and asked questions that really made me think about my characters and who they are as a person. If I ever decided to plot another novel, I would totally reach out to her again. You really can't find a better person to help you. Elin is amazing."
Freya SloaneDark Contemporary Romance
"I'm working on the book and I love your comments. They're helping me so much to bring the book to life. I'm absolutely loving this stage."
Marla C.Contemporary Dark MM Romance
"Your comments have made me smile."
Rae W.Urban Fantasy
"Elin is just really lovely to work with. She's so easy to talk to and never makes anything feel intimidating or overly formal. It honestly feels a bit like getting advice from a friend who just happens to know a ridiculous amount about writing."
