My literary fiction manuscript was personal, poetic, and layered with meaning. But as I re-read the draft, I couldn’t ignore the inconsistencies. Some sections felt too abstract, others too heavy-handed. The story had something important to say, but the way I said it didn’t always land. I needed help refining the voice and flow without compromising the artistry.
British Proofreading’s book editing service delivered exactly that — a thoughtful, high-calibre edit that respected both my intention and my creativity.
My editor had a deep appreciation for subtlety. They didn’t flatten the poetic rhythm of my prose. Instead, they helped enhance it by trimming excess, clarifying metaphors, and smoothing transitions between scenes and timelines. They offered gentle suggestions where themes needed more space to breathe or where the symbolism could be made stronger through simplicity.
They also helped restructure a few chapters to create better narrative cohesion. Characters who once felt symbolic now feel human. Moments that previously seemed distant now resonate with clarity and emotional truth. The edit maintained the integrity of the writing while guiding it toward greater impact.
If you’re writing literary fiction and want a book editing service that understands voice, nuance, and depth, British Proofreading will treat your work with the respect and attention it deserves.
