Helping romantasy and dark romance writers master the writing process

book, feather, key, author, writer

What would you do if I told you these three things are true:

  1. What’s been holding you back isn’t a lack of feedback; it’s not having someone jump into the trenches with you to solve the problems.

  2. Trying to fit your novel into every structural system out there won’t help you. That doesn’t mean give up on structure; it means finding the best-fit structure for your story. 

  3. Understanding story theory doesn't automatically translate into skill. If you're struggling, the best next step isn’t more studying; it’s getting professional feedback from someone who will guide you in learning the skills.

If those things are true, then what do you need?

  1. Someone who’s a professional editor and a creative partner, supporter, and guide all in one.

  2. Someone who can help you through the right process for your story.

  3. Someone who knows how to bridge the gap between knowledge and application.

That’s me.

Meet your new editor and book coach, Kallista Ann

My philosophy of editing comes from my belief in collaboration and honesty. 

The best writing occurs when an editor understands, champions, and sharpens your story. I don’t just hand you a list of problems and leave you there. My goal is to help you actually implement those changes.

Here’s how I help romantasy and dark romance authors lost in the writing process

Services

  • Romance Plot Builder

    I will help you shape your novel’s plot into a clear roadmap. In six coaching sessions, we’ll define your plot, characters, market fit, and outline. So you can write with clarity, direction, and purpose.

  • MINI Plot Confidence Booster

    I will help you uncover and solve your plot’s biggest problem. We’ll do that in one strategy session, where we’ll review a high-level snapshot of your story. That way, you have clarity and relief in what to do next.

Structure hunting for your dark romance or romantasy novel is over.

“Kallista provided me with priceless feedback on my YA Post-Apocalyptic manuscript. The editorial letter she wrote highlighted issues I was completely blind to despite having had many beta readers for the project. I didn't waste a second implementing her feedback, which uncovered potential in my manuscript I wasn't even aware of. If you ever have doubts about your work, but are unable to identify the issues, I would highly recommend you reach out to Kallista.”
