I do NOT charge a reading fee.

$2500.00 per full-length user’s manual, technical manual, guidebook etc up to 500 pages, longer works are acceptable but we’ll have to base the cost on the length. I’ve worked for Fortune 500 companies (Text book publishing and then Mapping Software) where I’ve worked on these types of projects before. I have a minor in English Lit/Creative writing and I’m willing to work with any subject matter except math above trigonometry.

Fiction: 

Fiction Age Category I work with: Adult. I’ll consider extremely dark YA on a case-by-case basis. I will work with charming middle grade and picture books as well.

Genres I work with:

Cross-overs
Romance: Historical, Futuristic, Fantasy, Contemporary.
Historical Fiction
Thriller
True Crime
Fantasy (Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Magical Realism, High Fantasy, Historical Fantasy)
Erotic Romance
Erotica
Science Fiction (hard or soft, but I’m a scientist by training so work well with hard)
Gamelit & LitRPG (I’m willing to work with harem, but only well written harem please).

I am absolutely NOT a good fit for Inspirational/Christian centered concepts or for graphic domestic violence stories involving female abuse.

About Me:

Kaija Rayne

I am a traditionally published author run away from trad pub forever. I got sick of the abuse. I’m a professional editor (it’s my day job) and a diversity and authenticity editor.

I have a Master’s in Education (major World History) and a B.A. in Biophysical anthropology and Forensics chemistry with minors in English Literature and Creative Writing.

My skills are excellent with the following:

Characterization
Sex scenes that sizzle
Accurate BDSM writing
Continuity
World Building
Pointing out where you can ground your scenes/make things realistic.

My critique partners and clients have told me my suggestions are gold.
