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 9 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).

    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.

    Ritika is exceptional. This was my second time hiring her to beta an interactive romance product (not a normal manuscript), and she brought the same sharp editor eye with zero fluff. She didn’t just “try it for an hour.” She ran multiple full stories across different character types to stress-test authenticity,...

    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...

    Ritika, thank you so much for taking the time to "beta read" my manuscript. I read through your feedback and it was all very detailed, constructive, and honest. I now know what to change and modify in my story. I will continue to read through your comments and notes, and work hard to make my story...

    I just finished going through your notes, and honestly can’t thank you enough. Not only did you deliver superfast, your commentary was absolute gold. You managed to point out issues that would improve the manuscript while still making me feel inspired to write, which is a rare gift! I value your service...
