Jane Blackwood :: Romance Writer

Copy-editing Services

On a limited basis, I am available for copy-editing services. As a former newspaper and magazine editor, as well as the published author of eight Historical romances and four Contemporary romances, I know the quality of work the publishing industry is looking for. I can help you fine-tune your manuscript to give you a better chance at realizing your dream of getting published. Of course, I cannot guarantee you'll get that coveted contract, but I can increase the odds of that by giving you a polished manuscript.

Due to high client demand, I must see at least one chapter of a completed manuscript before signing on a new client. I am only accepting romance manuscripts at this time.

Fees are based on word count and range from $400 to $1,000. Fees increase accordingly for manuscripts over 100,000 words. Please e-mail me with any questions or for more details. Thank you and good luck.

If he thinks that just because he's suave and good-looking and...and...has that hairy chest and great accent that he can woo her into leaving, well, he can die trying...

Editorial Review From Booklist

Why would Pulitzer Prize winner Harry Crandall leave his prestigious job at the New York Times to run a Podunk paper in Connecticut? The staff pool on what he's done to deserve this exile even exceeds the popularity of the morbid Dead Pool, both of which are run by editor Jaimie McLane. Read more . . .
