Perpetual Cardigan Press
Cozy, careful, story-first editing that helps your happily-ever-after land exactly the way you dreamed it would.
Start the Conversation"Every manuscript deserves an editor who roots for the couple as much as you do."
Perpetual Cardigan Press is a boutique editing studio built specifically for romance authors. Whether you're polishing a slow-burn small-town romance or tightening the tension in a steamy series finale, I read as a genre lover first and an editor second, which means the swoony moments stay swoony, and the craft gets sharper without losing your voice.
