My name is Maria Georgiou, and I am a reliable developmental editor and beta reader for romance authors. My goal is to help writers improve the big-picture storytelling elements in their romance manuscripts, such as characters, plot, setting, pacing, point of view, romance genre conventions and dialogue. I specialise in editing contemporary romance, YA romance, romantic comedy, romantic suspense, paranormal romance and romantasy stories. I offer 4 services: beta reading, discovery draft evaluation, mansucript critique, and developmental editing.
I took a career break to take several fiction editing and business growth courses and prepare for the opening of my fiction editing business.
