One of the most common issues I see in romance manuscripts is the lack of compelling characters' goals and motivation.
1)Is your main character’s goal big enough to sustain the whole story?
2) What is the reason behind the goal?
3) What actions do they need to take?

As long as your story is complete, the length of your story doesn't matter. You can write a short story, a novella or a novel. There are different spice levels in the romance genre, so you should decide how "spicy" you want your romance story to be and stick to that. Good luck!
One of the most common questions that romance writers ask is how long their romance novel should be. Read the blog article and learn:
Word count estimate for the romance genre
Why word count matters
What should I do if my novel is too long?
What should I do if my novel is too short?

Thank you for your comment. I always ask writers to fill in a form and share more information about their manuscript to see if we are a good fit to work together before discussing next steps or setting up a meeting.
Writers have different expectations when contacting an editor based on their previous experience or their reluctance to share information with a person they haven’t met before.
What information do you look for to decide if you can trust a particular editor for your story?

Today I realised:
I will always do my best in providing honest and constructive feedback to help the writer.
While I can’t control the writer’s reaction when they receive my feedback, I always work hard to provide honest feedback to help the writer improve their story.

One of the most important factors when looking for an editor is the cost of the editing service.
The best way to find out if your desired editor is within your budget is to look at their prices. If you are interested in a service, contact the editor and get a project quote.

About a month ago, I applied to an editing job post. The writer sent me a pre-interview questionnaire to fill in. During the interview, the writer just asked me the exact same questions without any additional comments. Have you ever had a similar experience?
