It’s great to meet you!

Melissa Smith - romance editor

I’m Melissa - a romance editor for indie authors looking to get their books publish-ready.

I have been an editor for almost two years and have worked with over 80 authors on over 100 manuscripts. I specialize in contemporary romance, dark romance, fantasy romance, and erotica. Whether you are looking for an alpha reader, beta reader, copyeditor, or proofreader, I will provide a thorough, detailed workup of your manuscript with the utmost respect and professionalism. 

I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Stockton University, spent several years in the education field, and finally, at forty-one, found my true passion. I enrolled in copyediting and proofreading courses through Knowadays and have obtained the skills and knowledge to successfully launch my editing business.

  • Handing over your work after the writing process can be incredibly daunting, but Melissa makes it a pleasure from the very first interaction, and this is what makes her work so fantastic. She really adds a personal touch to her professionalism, and this makes all the difference; she is a pleasure to work with and I cannot wait to do so again.
