Over mij
Hi, I’m Ritika, a romance developmental editor, founder of Kiss and Critique book editing service, and a professionally paid overthinker of your plot. If your story feels a little off but you can’t tell why (or you’re hoping it’ll magically fix itself… it won’t), I’m your person. I give honest, actionable feedback on plot, pacing, characters, romance arc, and emotional payoff. No vague comments, no sugarcoating, no soul-crushing edits. Your story keeps its spark. I just make sure it doesn’t fall apart on page 47.... Lees meer

Romance Developmental Editor

Kiss and Critique • ZZP

Dec 2022 - Present3 yrs 8 mos

Founder of Kiss and Critique, where I work with romance writers to fix what’s not working at the structural level, before it turns into a full-blown “why does this feel off?” crisis. I’ve worked with both indie and bestselling authors, from messy first drafts to manuscripts that are almost there but not quite hitting the mark. Different writers, same goal: make the story actually work. I specialise in spotting the issues quietly sabotaging your story, like uneven pacing, weak turning points, inconsistent character motivation, and emotional arcs that almost land… but don’t. My feedback is detailed, practical, and actually usable. Writers leave with clear direction, stronger story foundations, and a much better grip on what their story is doing (and what it should be doing).

    Ritka really went above and beyond with her comments. Judging by her other reviews, I knew she would be amazing, but I didn't know just how good! Not only did she give me reader reactions to every part she found deserving, but she also gave me constructive feedback on what I could improve and what was...

    I loved how blunt Ritika was - her commentary was hilarious, on point, and her report was especially helpful in identifying the weaknesses in my novel and in offering helpful suggestions in order to strengthen it. I would definitely use Ritika again!

    I was initially referred to Ritika to do a sensitivity read of my historical romance novella since the heroine is half-Indian, but I also chose to add in a beta read as well. I haven't had time to read the full coverage but I did skim it and it seems thorough. I appreciate that I received both a multi-page...

    Ritika provided a thorough beta read of my manuscript, tailoring her feedback to my current stage of editing. Her fresh perspective helped me identify lingering issues after developmental editing and strengthen the story overall.
