For the sensitive writer with a story to tell
Developmental Editor & Creativity Mentor
Unlock your creative spark & craft swoon worthy, character driven stories readers can’t put down.
Create your story your way.
You know that feeling when you finish a book that makes you feel everything—the kind that you make your entire personality?
That’s the magic of storytelling
This is a creative partnership—not a quest for perfection.
Editing is a collaboration, and around here, we ditch the pressure and break up with perfection so your story can shine in its own messy, magical way.
Oh Hi- cue Cruel Summer bridge
I’m Victoria the heart behind Victoria Jane Editorial and the voice behind Book Shop Chats. I’m a romance writer, developmental editor, and your go-to story cheerleader (with a serious soft spot for slow burns and messy drafts).
Right now, I’m writing my debut rom-com, With You I Glow—a cozy, heartfelt story about Elle, who ends up in Ireland, wrestling with anxiety, grief, and the unexpected magic of falling in love.
I’m here to help shape your story and cheer you on when the words feel stuck.
Whether you need deep editorial feedback or a creative pep talk at 3pm on a Tuesday, I’m here for the whole ride.
"Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!"

FAQ
-
Developmental editing looks at the big picture —your plot, characters, pacing, themes, structure, and emotional impact. I help you figure out what’s working, what’s missing, and how to bring your story to life in a way that feels powerful and true to you.
It’s not about grammar or typos (that comes later). It’s about making sure your story lands the way you want it to—and that you're not doing it alone.
-
Editing focuses on your manuscript—helping you shape the story, fix structure issues, and bring out the heart of your work. Coaching is about you as a writer—offering support, accountability, and encouragement while you’re in the thick of writing (or trying to get back to it). Both are collaborative, judgment-free, and designed to move your story forward in a way that works for you.
-
Nope!
You can work with me at any stage. Stuck halfway through your novel? Coaching can help. Got a full draft and don’t know what’s missing? That’s where editing or a manuscript assessment comes in. If you’re unsure what you need, I’ll help you figure it out. -
Absolutely.
My whole approach is built around flexibility, compassion, and making space for the real writing process (you know—the messy, nonlinear kind). Whether you're navigating ADHD, anxiety, or a general creative funk, you’ll find a judgment-free space here, plus support that meets you where you're at.
