Master the romance of storycraft
Writing romance is a calling. But to make a living from it, you must stand out.
While every author's path is different, the one thing all successful career writers share is a hunger for more. I am a professional romance book editor, and it is my passion to help you explore your strengths, set your goals, challenge your mindset, and craft your storytelling voice into something memorable.
An empowering, upbeat, step-by-step approach
When Sue says she’s focused on empowering romance authors, she’s not exaggerating. The Three Fixable Reasons guide is straightforward and actionable. Sue's Define Your Storytelling Style workbook will help you discover insights you didn't know you had. I could feel her rooting for me to make a breakthrough in every line.

An absolute must-have for any author looking to hone their craft!
The Define Your Storytelling Style primer workbook gives concrete examples and step-by-step instructions on how to dive into your writing style. Absolutely worth the price tag! The examples and instructions were key in helping me identify ways to take my writing to the next level. It can help you, too! Great guide!

My expectations were high. I was not disappointed.
Three Fixable Reasons confirmed for me that focusing on advertising and promotion, which I hate, and following trends aren't necessarily the answers.

I had an AHA! moment in the story I'm working on.
I wish I'd read Three Fixable Reasons when I first started writing. Having said that, I can definitely see the benefit it would have for a writer at any stage in their career.

What authors are saying about my work as a romance book editor

I’ve never worked with a more tuned-in, savvy, or humbling creative. Sue can see through to the very heart of a story, then weaves pure magic to draw the very best from your words.

Can’t say enough good things about editor @davincikittie! Kickass insight & suggestions. #HireHer #EditingSkillz
Gail Carriger
NYT Bestselling author
Sue is my developmental editor. DE is basically the same kind of editor as my acquiring editor at a traditional publishing house. I chose Sue because her specialty is romance and my novellas tend to lean that direction. [...] She’s extremely helpful.
