Romance Editing and Beta Reader Matchmaking
Well hello there! I'm Rachel Daven Skinner, a freelance editor for romance novels and commercial fiction with romantic elements for publishers, self-publishing indie authors, and writers seeking to refine their manuscripts before submitting to agents or publishers. I edit American and British English, and I can help localize your writing to ensure American and British characters and settings sound authentic.
I also offer beta reader matchmaking: you tell me the exact type of beta reader or sensitivity reader you need, and I'll match you to the right reader on my team who will provide a thorough and timely critique. This highly customizable service is quickly gaining notoriety!
My experience includes editing romance novels for bestselling and award-winning authors and publishers, including the 2017 RITA nominated novel The Depth of Beauty.
I'm proud to say that 90% of my published editing clients are repeat clients, 81% of their books are ranked 4.5 stars or higher on Amazon, and 100% are ranked higher than 4 stars. Yes, really!
Am I the romance editor you've been looking for? I hope so! But you wouldn't hand your child to a stranger for babysitting, so I don't expect you to trust me with your book baby until you get to know me a little and check out my credentials.

You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke."
