First impressions matter, and your opening chapters are your best chance to hook the reader.
Hi. I'm Jinx, a developmental editor specializing in romance and fantasy. With this service, I'll read your opening chapters from both a reader's and an editor's perspective. I'll leave in-line comments to suggest improvements if I notice areas that could be strengthened, and I’ll also share my immediate reactions as I read through the manuscript. I'll laugh at the funny parts, cheer for the protagonist, and highlight descriptions that make me feel like I'm living in the story-world.
Along with the comments, you'll receive a 2 to 3 page report where I'll gush about the parts I loved, speculate on where I think the story might go, and provide general feedback on topics such as:
Opening Hook
Characters
Description & Setting
Pacing
Writing Style
Magic Systems (if applicable)
World-building & Lore
This is a great way to make sure you’re on the right track with clear prose, a strong voice, and characters that readers want to follow.
Investment: $40 for up to 5k words; $60 for 5k - 10k words.
Turnaround time: 3 - 5 days.
