FAQ
How is this different from a beta reader?
It's a structured developmental edit: a verdict, ranked priorities and chapter notes, every point cited to your text — not a reader's gut reaction.
Will it rewrite my book?
No. It diagnoses and recommends; your manuscript and your voice stay yours. Use Line Edit or Go For Launch when you want the changes made.
Does it suit any romance subgenre?
Yes — the notes are grounded in your specific manuscript, so they fit contemporary, historical, paranormal, romantasy and more.
