Ronan Sadler – Editor

I offer a strengths-based, character-driven editorial approach for romance, SFF, and YA manuscripts that eschews beat sheets and formulae in favour of organic, book-specific growth. Let's bridge the gap between the book you have in your heart and the book as it's appearing on the page.

In my previous role at Harlequin/Carina Press, I did developmental and line edits on a select number of romance titles, with a focus on LGBTQ romance. Prior to that, I interned with several YA agents, doing client editorial work and first read assessments.

I also offer sensitivity reading and cultural competency education for transgender and disability issues. This work is based on my life experience as a disabled trans person, and is bolstered by my academic credentials. With a Master's degree in Critical Disability Studies and three years' experience as a teaching assistant at the undergraduate level, sensitivity reads are a safe place for you to ask questions and learn from an experienced teacher and facilitator.
