Whether you're looking for a thoughtful beta reader, a developmental editor, or a detailed manuscript review, my goal is the same: to help you strengthen your story while preserving your unique voice. Many writers reach a point where they've revised their manuscript several times but still feel that something isn't quite working. Perhaps the pacing slows, a character's motivation isn't fully convincing, or the emotional impact isn't landing the way you hoped. Sometimes it's simply difficult to see your own story the way a reader will experience it. That's where I come in. I read as both an engaged reader and an experienced editor, looking at the overall reading experience while providing practical, actionable feedback you can confidently apply during revision. My goal isn't to rewrite your story—it's to help you tell it more effectively. Services I primarily work with authors who are looking for: • Developmental Editing • Manuscript Reviews & Editorial Assessments • Beta Reading • Copyediting (select projects) My Approach My feedback focuses on the elements that most shape a reader's experience, including: • Character development and motivation • Story structure and pacing • Emotional resonance and reader engagement • Dialogue and point of view • Plot development and narrative flow • Clarity, consistency, and timeline issues My background includes a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics, a Master's degree in Counseling, and professional training in editing. Together, they shape the way I approach every manuscript. I pay close attention not only to the words on the page, but also to character relationships, emotional authenticity, and the overall reading experience. I believe the strongest editorial relationships are collaborative. My role is to ask thoughtful questions, identify opportunities for growth, and help you create the strongest version of the story you want to tell while respecting your voice and your vision. Genres I regularly work with: • Mystery & Thriller • Cozy Mystery • Romance (closed-door/clean preferred) • Character-driven Fiction • Memoir & Narrative Nonfiction What You'll Receive Depending on your project, deliverables may include: • A detailed editorial letter or reader report • Feedback on story structure, pacing, character development, and reader engagement • Inline comments throughout the manuscript where helpful • Clear, practical suggestions for revision and next steps Clients often tell me they appreciate that my feedback is thoughtful, organized, and easy to apply. I aim to be honest without being discouraging—highlighting what's already working while providing practical suggestions to strengthen your manuscript. If you're looking for a collaborative editor who will approach your story with care, curiosity, and an eye for both the big picture and the details, I'd love to learn more about your project.

I'm Cara, your new favorite dark spicy romance writer. I am a full time writer, full time dark romance addict. As well as being published in my own right, I'm a loyal ghostwriter to some amazing clients, with over 30+ spicy romance books written in total, some performing in the Amazon top 100 bestsellers in their genre. Essentially, you clicked onto my profile to see if I can make you $$$. Give me some tropes, a month, and your readers will have a new book boyfriend. I absolutely do not use AI. I'll stop here because you could be reading my writing samples, much more interesting than my bio. Click on my portfolio and see for yourself if my writing is worth your investment! My inbox is open 27/4 so feel free to pop me a message. For those wanting a little more background, read the paragraph below: I'm British living in Australia, an avid reader and writer of dark mafia romance. This is my most requested genre, since I also write under a pen name in this genre (Tess Adams). In my spare time, I read lots of different genres, ranging from romance, dystopia, all the way to feminist literature, Angela Carter one of my all time favorites. After a full day of writing, I enjoy pole dancing in my local studio or gymming. And when I'm not doing that, I'm soaking up the sun, running away from the snakes and spiders here in the land down under! ⭐️ I always respond within 24 hours and kindly ask the same of you if we are under contract. ⭐️ I create full outlines. ⭐️ The tropes I regularly work with are: enemies to lovers, age gap, forbidden, secret/surprise pregnancy, small town, forced marriage, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine, billionaire, mafia, secret society, high steam, reverse harem. ⭐️ I take NDAs seriously. The samples you will find below are from my own books.

⭐️ 7+ years of experience in Romance Ghostwriting & YouTube Scriptwriting. Over the years, I’ve built a strong reputation as both a romance ghostwriter and a YouTube scriptwriter, with raving 5-star reviews from clients who love how my words connect with audiences. Whether it’s bringing a romance story to life or crafting a script that keeps viewers hooked from the very first second, my passion lies in storytelling that feels authentic, emotional, and impossible to put down. The first thing you should know about my ghostwriting service is that I write out of passion. I write for the thrill of shaping a story, delivering it, and watching my clients light up with excitement. That same energy flows into my YouTube scripts, where I know exactly how to structure narratives that boost watch time, retention, and engagement. As a romance ghostwriter, I enjoy writing stories filled with suspense, tension, and unexpected twists that pull readers in deeper. I also love creating multi-layered characters and letting them grow naturally through their choices, emotions, and dialogue. As a YouTube scriptwriter, I bring that same storytelling skill to video content — blending education, entertainment, and engagement into scripts that keep audiences coming back for more. My specialization in romance spans contemporary, historical, paranormal, and more. I’ve delivered captivating novels, novellas, and short stories with well-developed characters and satisfying endings. On the YouTube side, I’ve helped channels grow with scripts designed for storytelling, commentary, lifestyle, and even niche content, always written with the audience in mind. What sets me apart is not just my ability to meet deadlines and deliver polished work, but also my versatility. From romance novels that have touched countless hearts to YouTube scripts that rack up views, likes, and comments, my writing has a proven record of sparking connection and engagement. Writing is more than work for me — it’s an obsession I’m proud of. Whether I’m ghostwriting your next romance hit or scripting a viral YouTube video, the reward is always in delivering content that exceeds expectations. I like a good challenge, so bring it on! Whatever you have in mind — a heart-stopping romance or a binge-worthy video script — I’ll handle it with creativity, energy, and discretion sharper than Cupid’s arrows. I look forward to working with you. Cheers, Victoria.

Ghostwriting Writing is my passion and it shows in my writing. A freelance writer since 2007, I embarked on ghostwriting romance novels in 2014. Since that time I’ve written over two million words for my clients about sexy aliens, shifters, rock stars, billionaires, and bikers. I take my readers to the outskirts of the galaxy to the highways of America with a hog rumbling between their legs. My stories feature plenty of romance, twists, and turns with a good HEA. I'm sure I can turn out a quality story for you that will sell well. Currently scheduling work for novels of any genre. Astrology Since romance writing overtook my business I no longer freelance for astrology articles except for grandfathered clients. Sorry.
