Hey, I'm Cassandra – Your Romantasy & Fantasy Editing Wingwoman
Okay, confession time: I'm that girl who can (and will) lose an entire day devouring monster, fairy, and dragon romances. Seriously, give me a fierce shifter hero with a heart of gold, a cunning fae court intrigue, or a dragon-riding adventure, and I'm hooked. And don't even get me started on high fantasy gems like Eragon, The Hobbit, Crescent City, and Fourth Wing—they're my ultimate escape. But the real magic? When those worlds smash together in a lush romantasy blend. It's like, why choose between epic quests and heart-fluttering tension when you can have both? As your editor, I'm basically your target reader, cheering from the sidelines while I help polish your story to perfection.
My editing obsession kicked off in college, where I tacked on an English minor to my psychology degree. Picture this: me in creative writing workshops, geeking out over classmates' drafts and helping them level up their prose. It was like solving puzzles—spotting what made a scene pop or a character feel real. Oh, and I've got my own unpublished romantasy novel under my belt, packed with intricate politics, layered history, deep lore, and a magic system that still keeps me up at night tweaking. So yeah, I get the writer's journey from the inside out—the highs of world-building, the chaos of revisions, and that thrill when it all clicks.
These days, I specialize in copyediting novels (30k+ words) that have already nailed their developmental and line editing stages. My jam? Dialing in grammar, consistency, flow, and that final layer of polish that lets readers sink in and forget they're holding a book. It's all about making your world feel seamless and immersive, so your story shines without losing your unique vibe.
Here's what I bring to your manuscript (and why it's a game-changer):
A deep, unapologetic love for romance and fantasy genres—especially monster, fairy, and dragon romances, high fantasy, and those dreamy romantasy hybrids. (I'm your ideal reader, spotting what'll make fans obsess!)
My psychology background, which helps me tune into character development and reader engagement—like ensuring motivations feel authentic and hooks keep pages turning.
Meticulous attention to consistency in character details, world-building, and series continuity (no more accidental eye-color swaps or timeline glitches).
Hands-on insight from writing my own romantasy, so I understand the creative chaos and how to enhance it without overstepping.
Ongoing skill-sharpening through Editorial Freelancers Association courses—I'm always leveling up to bring you the best.
Custom style sheets and detailed notes to keep everything consistent across your series, making future books a breeze.
My editing process is straightforward and collaborative, because who has time for confusion? We start with a thorough intake where I dive into your style, goals, and any concerns. Then, I do multiple passes—each one zeroing in on different elements like technical fixes, flow tweaks, and those sneaky consistency wins. You'll get a detailed style sheet for ongoing reference, plus clear communication every step of the way (updates, questions, high-fives for killer scenes). It's all about partnership, not dictatorship.
I'm the perfect fit for authors who've wrapped up developmental and line editing and are ready for that crucial final polish before hitting publish. If your romance or fantasy novel thrives on strong world-building consistency and character development, let's team up—I'll help make it unforgettable.
Right now, I'm booking with 1-3 week turnarounds for most projects, and my fixed rate is $0.01 per word. This is BELOW the market price. Though I’m no stranger to editing, I’m new to the career. If you want a discounted price, I am that girl! These prices reflect my experience, education, and work history, keeping things fair while delivering top-tier polish.
