Hey there, fellow story lover! I’m so glad you’re here.
Writing a book is a beautiful, deeply personal journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. Welcome to The Big Picture Edit—a cozy, supportive space where your manuscript is safe, and your vision is celebrated. I’m Vicki, and I’m here to be your ultimate cheerleader, your analytical sounding board, and the editor who helps you shape the heart of your story.
My obsession is picking apart romance and women’s fiction novels to see what makes them tick. I hold an Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing, and I earned a High Distinction for Advanced Editing. While I love all things storytelling, structural editing is where I truly excel. My superpower is stepping back to look at the grand design of your manuscript, helping you weave raw, beautiful ideas into a book readers can't put down.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
Think of me as your trusted partner for the bumpy, wonderful ride of rewriting. Whether you are writing a sweet, hearty romance or a soulful women’s fiction piece filled with raw grit, angst, and self-discovery, I am totally up for the journey. I love the moments where a protagonist figures out exactly who they are, and I'm right there with you through every single twist and turn.
When we collaborate, we will grab a warm drink, roll up our sleeves, and make sure your book hits every single emotional high and low beautifully.
Shaping Your Story, Beat by Beat
Together, we will dive deep into your manuscript to ensure your tropes are spot-on and your genre conventions shine. We will meticulously polish your:

· Enemies to Lovers
· Fake Relationship

Your characters deserve to have their stories told, and you deserve an editor who genuinely believes in your vision. Let’s look at the big picture together and make your book the absolute best version of itself.
