Developmental editing & writing support

Your Story Deserves to Shine, Let’s Bring It to Life—Together

You a have finished book, so what’s next?

Don’t worry, I’ve got you.

Calling all romance, thriller, and YA writers ready to get closer to their publishing dreams.

The magic happens in the journey.

It is possible to write a book you LOVE & can’t wait to share

Here’s how I can help:

Developmental editing looks at the BIG picture of your novel, taking you from: “is this story any good?” to “OMG I can’t wait to share this with readers.”

Where developmental editing SHINES:

  • Pacing

  • Create strong characters

  • Address plot holes

  • Write believable side characters

  • Identify your novel’s theme

  • And so much more…

Current Ways to work together:

  • The Basic Edit: For the writer who wants chapter feedback to make the revision process easier OR want a once over before hitting publish.

  • The Full Developmental Edit: In-line comments, chapter feedback AND overall assessment of your novel.

  • Writing Audits: On demand writing support to help with scene clarity, outlining, character development etc.

    *Payment plans available for both editing packages

Some amazing authors I've worked with.

  • Working with Victoria on my manuscript’s developmental edit was a lovely experience. She was kind in addressing any problems in my writing . She helped with clear instructions on how to change my book for the better .She helped with details like character arcs , plot holes , motivation in characters , and even descriptions to help the reader feel immersed in my story. It was an overall encouraging and positive experience. I would recommend any new author ( like myself ) to work with her !

  • Wow, it was absolutely incredible. I was so impressed by her attention to detail and the way she took the time to thoroughly read my story. As my first book baby, I was truly terrified to share it with others, but her feedback was not only amazing but also very thorough and insightful.

Testimonials

  • A. Huber

    I am so appreciative of the time, care, and effort you gave to my novel. Your feedback was amazing and considerate. You really showed that you understood the novel's intention of exploring a marriage, it's ups and downs, and that pivotal moment when two people are on the cusp of making monumental decisions about their future. I can't thank you enough for the encouragement and the confidence to tackle this piece to make it even better. You gave my novel such a careful read and really highlighted the potential hurdles that may have been causing some of the rejections I have received. Your careful notes were so kind and encouraging and has really made me enthusiastic to re-edit this piece and try and kick it back out into the world.

  • D. Rangel

    I so appreciate your voice as an editor and the way you critique with such a genuinely positive slant, I can tell you won’t let any authors feel totally crushed by critiques or suggested changes but encourage and support the creativity and make the author feel more confident in their abilities to make a scene stronger or make a character arc more involved. I didn’t know what to expect but I certainly expected more harsh criticism and was so delighted by the encouraging way you critique.

  • D. Laj

    Wonderful! I've had beta readers in the past but your feedback really pushed on some of the scenes to develop more while also helping me streamline things.

Hey I’m Victoria

The visionary behind Victoria Jane Editorial

Writing was always my safe place; it was how I could sense my thoughts and emotions. As a child and teen, I kept a million journals.I grew up on Art Attack and Mr. Dress-Up.

But I struggled with self doubt and I’m a busy mum of three…

  • My spelling and grammar were less than stellar.

  • I believed I wasn’t creative enough.

  • Writing a book felt incredibly daunting. 

Until I was wandering through a castle garden in Scotland and Elle’s story hit me HARD, I knew I had to write it. That day, I finally admitted out loud I wanted to write a book.

My expertise in developmental editing extends beyond the mechanics of storytelling. My role as a DE is to help you tap into your authentic voice and hype you up while providing supportive feedback.

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing authors fulfil their dreams and get their book in the hands of readers. If you are ready to take the leap-let’s chat!

FAQs

  • You need to have finished draft to get the most out the experience.

  • Yes! A $100 deposit secures your space and it taken off the first round of edits. I edit in 10-20k sections and will send you an invoice after each section is complete. Once it's paid I'll start on your next section.
