Historical romance is such a delicate dance. You need to sweep readers away with the emotions of the love story, but you also have to stay true to the time period—the language, the social rules, even the tiny details that bring another era to life. When I finished my draft, I felt proud of the characters and their relationship, but something was missing. The pacing wasn’t quite right, and the historical setting didn’t feel as rich or seamless as I had imagined. I knew I needed help before sending it out into the world. That’s when I decided to work with British Proofreading’s book editing service, and looking back, it was one of the best choices I made for this book. From the first round of feedback, it was clear the editor truly understood the heart of what I was trying to create. They didn’t just focus on grammar or surface-level polish—they looked deeper. They showed me where the emotional connection between my characters could be stretched out, where key moments needed more build-up, and where scenes could be tightened to make the relationship unfold naturally and believably. They were also incredibly helpful when it came to the historical side of things. Without ever making me feel overwhelmed, they gently flagged small inaccuracies, suggested subtle shifts in dialogue to sound more authentic for the era, and helped me weave historical details more naturally into the background of the story. Their notes made my world feel not just accurate, but alive—a place readers could step into and believe. Another thing I truly appreciated was how collaborative the process felt. Every edit, every suggestion felt like it came from someone who genuinely wanted the story to shine, not someone trying to change my voice. They honored the love story, respected the world I had built, and helped me polish the emotional moments so they landed with even more impact. After working with British Proofreading, my historical romance feels deeper, richer, and far more powerful. The love story feels timeless, the setting feels immersive, and the emotional highs and lows feel earned and satisfying. If you’re writing historical romance and you want your readers to fall headfirst into your world—and stay there until the very last page—you can trust British Proofreading’s book editing service to help you make that happen. I truly couldn’t have brought this story to life the way I imagined without their help.
