Sophia O.

Your novel’s first draft doesn’t have to be its final form. Your book, as uncertain as you feel about it, CAN become a book that readers can’t put down. It just needs a little shaping up. Are you starting with a list of tropes, a rough draft, or a finished manuscript that isn’t quite where you want it to be? Fear not! I am here to help you through the most treacherous part of publishing I’m Sophia, a romance/ cozy mystery ghostwriter and developmental editor with five years of freelancing experience and four years on Upwork. With 25+ completed projects, multiple repeat clients, top-rated status, and a 100% Job Success Score, my focus has always been on one thing: helping publishers create books that perform. My romance novels for long-term clients consistently earn ratings above 4.0 stars on Amazon and Goodreads. As your developmental editor/Alpha/Beta reader, I will go through your manuscript and tell you what’s working and what isn’t: pacing, character arcs, plot, tropes that aren’t paying off. I doesn’t stop there; as a developmental editor, I will give you clear, actionable solutions. You’ll be getting developmental feedback on a structural level, margin comments on specific scenes, and a revised manuscript with tracked changes so you stay involved in every decision. Have an AI-written draft you want to sound human? I can work on that as well. I will point out repetitions and timeline errors that are common in AI-assisted writing. Here’s what separates me from other editors: I know what the readers love, trope-wise, plot-wise, character-wise, and pacing-wise, and I will integrate that into your book as I edit. What you get working with me: ❤️ Five years across romance and cozy mystery, with a deep understanding of market trends and reader expectations ❤️ Clear, consistent communication and reliable, ahead-of-schedule delivery ❤️ A committed partner who sees every project through to the end My portfolio includes samples across multiple subgenres so you can see exactly what I’ve created for Amazon publishers and decide if it’s the right fit.
