Romance Developmental Editor
Kiss and Critique • ZZP
Dec 2022 - Present • 3 yrs 7 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).

It got to the point that I didn't know where all the problems were. Ritika was meticulous in explaining what worked and what didn't. She didn't...

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!

Working with Marika was an absolutely amazing experience. She delivered the beta reading report even earlier than expected, and all of her inline comments and overall feedback make perfect sense. She has a very professional approach and provided incredibly valuable insights for my manuscript. I highly...
