Joy Editing has a core team of members from across the globe. We offer editing services for indie authors, and we specialize in romance and erotica, though we are more than happy to work on manuscripts of most other genres.
We work with all kinds of authors, from New York Times Bestsellers to authors putting together their very first manuscripts, and we pride ourselves on catering our services to our clients' needs.
In addition to our editing and proofing services, as industry specialists in romance and erotica, we are also partnered with the renowned Eden Bradley, offering proprietary BDSM/kink consultation services for authors of erotica looking for insight.
Thank you so much for stopping by to check us out! (We think you're pretty cute, too. *wink wink*) If you have any questions about us, feel free to check out our Services and FAQ pages. Can't find an answer to your question? Send us an email at admin@joyediting.com!
