Crafting a high fantasy novel is like building a world from scratch, and I had done just that. I had kingdoms, clans, languages, and a 150,000-word manuscript packed with lore. But when I shared the draft with beta readers, I got the same feedback. “I’m confused.” That’s when I knew I needed professional editing support. British Proofreading didn’t just polish my sentences. They helped me untangle them. My editor was an absolute pro at handling complex fantasy work. They understood how to clarify worldbuilding without info-dumping, how to trim exposition while still preserving depth, and how to create momentum in a genre that can easily get bogged down by its own mythology. They helped me streamline subplots, clarify character motivations, and even tightened up my magical system so that it made more sense to readers. Their insight into pacing was especially invaluable. They flagged where the story dragged and offered suggestions to bring key scenes to life with more urgency or emotional impact. What impressed me most was how respectful they were of the genre. They didn’t try to simplify or modernise the voice. Instead, they enhanced it. Thanks to their guidance, the final manuscript now reads like a true epic. Rich, immersive, and so much easier for readers to follow without compromising its complexity. I’ll be sending them the sequel next.
