Shaping Your Stories

Developmental editing, proofreading and manuscript assessments for fiction writers who want help
making their work the best it can be! 

Whether you’re working through your first draft or polishing your final one, I’m here to
help bring your story to life. With a degree in English & History and a Masters in Marketing, as well as
dedicated training in fiction editing, I know how important it is to tell your story in your voice. 

My goal is to help you create the strongest possible version of your manuscript -
without losing the heart of what you’ve written. I focus on narrative structure, character development,
pacing, and genre positioning, all while keeping your creative intent front and centre.

Hi, I’m Rosa.

I’m a fiction editor with a background in marketing, as well as degrees in English & History and Marketing.

I love reading and writing and have been training in fiction editing with bestselling author and publishing industry editor, Jill Marshall.

I’ve worked on multiple full-length, end-to-end edits and 3- chapter manuscript assessments for clients - each one honing my editorial instincts and deepening my love for helping stories grow.

Testimonials

  • Carol Strickland, Doomsday!

    Rosa Bosett-Roberts edited Doomsday! for me, a superhero adventure novel.

    In addition to an overall developmental edit, she also included some line corrections and minor suggestions for improvement.

    I might have disagreed with a few (authors can be hard-headed concerning their grammatical convictions!), but she either caught most of my mistakes or made some observant suggestions to improve my approach at various points. She pointed out the good as well as the, shall we say, things needing improvement.

    Thank you, Rosa!

  • E. Hazard, Cosy Mystery Writer

    Working with Rosa on my cozy mystery was an absolute joy. She has a remarkable eye for detail and a talent for strengthening a manuscript without ever losing the author’s unique voice. Her edits struck the perfect balance between constructive critique and encouraging feedback, helping me see exactly where the story could shine brighter.

    What impressed me most was Rosa’s ability to spot both the big-picture elements such as pacing, character development, and mystery structure, and the small but important details that make a story feel polished and professional. She gave me thoughtful notes that made my plot tighter, my characters more vivid, and my prose more engaging.

    Thanks to Rosa’s guidance, I feel more confident in my writing and excited about sharing my book with readers. I highly recommend her to any author looking for a skilled, insightful, and supportive editor who truly cares about bringing out the best in your story.

  • Brittany Dodson, Song in the Reeds

    Rosa's three-chapter manuscript review was very helpful.

    Her suggestions were valuable and brought up some familiar points of struggle with, as well as new perspectives I'd never thought of.

    Her kind words were very encouraging and made me want to keep working towards my goals as a writer.

  • Sarah Wright, Why We Can't Get Back to Sleep

    Rosa very kindly stepped out of her fiction shoes to copy edit and proof my non-fiction book on tackling insomnia. She caught many unintended errors and made very helpful suggestions on the overall structure, pace and tone of the book overall. Very pleased with Rosa’s editing services and believe I’m putting my best book forward, still in my voice but even better!
