Did someone order a creative who loves iced coffee, indie books, and helping writers find their magic?

Pull up a chair, friend—you’re in the right place.

A woman with wavy dark hair and tattoos on her arms is sitting at a round table by a window, drinking from a floral teacup. On the table, there's a teapot, a closed laptop, and a stack of books.

Hey I’m Victoria

Let's work together

I’m the face behind Victoria Jane Editorial and Book Shop Chats

As a developmental editor, I love helping writers shape their drafts into stories readers go feral for. I specialize in story structure, character arcs, and making sure your novel hits readers right in the feels. All without losing your unique voice in the process.

As a book coach, I support sensitive, ADHD writers who feel stuck, scattered, or find themselves lost in self-doubt. I’m here to help you find your way back to the joy of creating on your terms.

Right now, I’m deep in revisions of my debut rom-com, With You I Glow

Here’s a little teaser:
They say bad things happen in threes...Elle has been ghosted, lost her job but a chance to trip to Ireland with two BFF might be just want she needs. Until she crashes into her past in the airport. Alex is spending the summer working Ireland reeling after a family tragedy.

Whether you're a writer in need of compassionate support or a reader searching for your next favourite romance, my goal is to make this space feel like a creative exhale.

When I’m not editing or arguing with fictional characters, you’ll find me wandering cozy bookstores on the West Coast of Canada, ice coffee in hand.

No grammar, no copyedit. Good news I know many amazing editors I can refer you to.
