Why Heat  & Heart Editorial?

Headshot of Author & Editor Amy Russell. Aka, A. L. Russell as by her pen name.

I’m Amy. Author, editor, and story surgeon. I take romance books from “This is good” to “I lost sleep over this, and I’m not even mad.”

​

Whether you’re writing sweet and spicy or full-blown emotional chaos with a body count, I’m here to help you tighten the prose, crank the tension, and keep your voice front and centre.

​

Because I’ve been there - elbows-deep in a messy draft, questioning every scene, wondering if the angst hits, if the heat sizzles, or if you’ve just written 80,000 words of nothing.

As both an author and an editor, I know how to bring structure, clarity, and emotional precision to stories that need to burn.
I’ve been on both sides of the editing desk - I know how to fix what’s broken without sanding off your voice.

​

My job? To help you say exactly what you meant to say - but with fewer words, sharper punches, and pacing that gives readers just enough breath before you ruin them (emotionally, of course).

​

Need a deep-dive overhaul? Or just want someone to make sure your spicy scenes aren’t cringe, limp, or emotionally hollow? I’m your girl.

​

If you’re ready to make your book unforgettable, let’s talk.
