Born and raised in Michigan's tip of the mitt, Theresa still calls the area home. Wife to the best husband ever and mom to five fab men, she loves Michigan summers best—though a hot coffee and cozy sweater on a crisp fall day are a close second. When she’s not editing, she’s wrangling her black cat, Bjorn (who was absolutely a bad dog in a previous life), playing with her grandchildren, or listening to an audiobook while crocheting yet another blanket for the back of her couch.

How I Work...

• Collaborative — I help you strengthen your story while honoring your voice and vision every step of the way.

• Clarity-focused — I make sure the heart of your story comes through clearly and intentionally.

• Reader-focused — I bring nearly two decades of experience editing romance, romantasy, paranormal, fantasy, and hybrid stories, always with the reader's emotional experience in mind.

• Detail-oriented — I pay careful attention to the moments that matter most—the ones that make readers ache, gasp, laugh, and fall in love.

• Transparency — You'll always know what's working, what still needs attention, and why. No surprises.

• No AI — I edit your manuscript with my own eyes, experience, and judgment—never with AI.

• Hype-girl energy — I'll celebrate every breakthrough, cheer every milestone, and enthusiastically flail over your favorite moments right alongside you.

If you're looking for an editor who will care about your story as much as you do, let's talk.

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

Theresa Cole fell in love with paranormal romance as a teenager and spent years devouring every supernatural love story she could find. After decades of reading across genres, she stepped into publishing in 2009 and has since worked with both established publishers and independent authors.

Her editorial experience includes roles with Entangled Publishing and City Owl Press, where she served as an Acquiring Editor and Senior Copy Editor for the Mystic Owl imprint. Today, Theresa specializes in romance and romantasy across every subgenre, pairing, and heat level, with a particular love for stories that blur genre lines. Her editorial approach blends clarity, structure, and collaboration, helping authors strengthen their voice while staying true to their vision, especially in stories where emotion and imagination intertwine and the edges get a little dangerous.
