My goal is to help set you up for success on your writing journey

Hey I’m Victoria

I’m the face behind Victoria Jane Editorial and Book Shop Chats. 

If you didn’t know by now, I’m a romance writer and developmental editor dedicated to helping fellow writers achieve their dreams. My journey into editing began with a love for storytelling and a desire to support other authors in bringing their visions to life.

I’m writing my debut rom-com, With You I Glow. A heartfelt story that follows Elle as she navigates the ups and downs of anxiety during a chance trip to Ireland, all while discovering the magic of love.

Supportive editing that makes you feel GOOD

Your developmental editor should help strengthen your novel while honouring your voice as an author.

Here’s why it matters:

  • Deeper Character Development: Readers fall in love with characters who are messy and imperfect. A developmental edit makes sure motivations, arcs, and relationships are compelling and consistent.(That goes for your side characters too.)

  • Clarity & Focus : Your novel should deliver the story you intended to tell. A developmental edit highlights plot holes, inconsistencies, and confusing subplots.

  • Enhanced Emotional Impact: You want your readers to feel something. Developmental editing helps explore way to deepen the emotional connection of your story or characters.
