Ready to edit your women’s fiction or romance novel?
I’m Jessica Ryn, an agented HarperCollins author of women’s fiction novels, and a professional fiction editor.
Having worked with bestselling and award-winning authors, both traditional and indie, I've learned the art and science of hooking your reader, forcing them to say, 'Just one more page!'
There's nothing more exciting than watching a story develop and flourish into a polished book, bringing joy to the world and pride to its author, which is why I set up Kickass Women’s Fiction to help you achieve your publishing dreams.

Well done for finishing your draft. It’s hard work writing a novel, so first it’s time to breathe and congratulate yourself for being a kick-ass writer.
THEN it’s time to find a women’s fiction editor or romance novel editor. And guess what? I happen to be both, and I’ve gotcha.
Women’s fiction and romance novels are the very best of books (not that I’m biased), and have their own nuances, reader expectations, tropes and subcategories, so it’s helpful to work with someone with industry knowledge of the genre.
“My entire experience with Jessica was phenomenal. She made smart edits and encouraging suggestions to polish my novels into books I could be proud of. I hired her for developmental editing, line editing, and copy editing, and will continue to do so for my next books. She’s been nothing short of amazing.”
