Professional Beta Reading
& Proofreading
for self publishing & indie fantasy authors
Are you an indie self publishing fantasy author looking for professional beta reading or proofreading services?
It can be hard to know who to trust.
As a writer myself, I know what it’s like to open your heart on paper (and screen!). It can be an intimate, scary experience.
So when it comes to handing over your work to a complete stranger, you need to be confident in your expectation of the type of feedback that you’ll receive.
I offer indie authors professional beta reading services with in-depth feedback and a final polish proofread for those who are itching to hit ‘publish’.
“I want to thank Stacey at The Fantasy Wordslinger (TFW) for the content edit of my first manuscript. Stacey was prompt and responsive to all my questions, despite a significant time difference (Stacey is in the UK; I am in the US).
Prior to hiring TFW, we communicated several times via email to be sure we would be a good fit. TFW asked detailed questions about the theme, characters, and main issues where I wanted feedback.
With a content edit, TFW provided a 10-page editorial letter, as well as in-manuscript notes for the first section of the MS. I was promised comments in 6-8 weeks, and received them in just over 6 weeks, well within the agreed-upon deadline.
I especially appreciated the notes provided within the manuscript. Those comments fleshed out the themes she made in her editorial letter, and helped give me a better idea of where and how I could implement specific suggestions. Because of the review, I now have a clearer vision for the character arc of my protagonist, as well as ideas to better create and resolve tension within the manuscript.
If you are a first-time author like me looking for a professional editor, I suggest reaching out to The Fantasy Wordslinger to see if they are a good fit for you.”

SERVICES
BETA READING
A professional beta read is the first stage of the editing rounds. Once you have a finished manuscript (congratulations!), a professional beta read can give invaluable feedback.
With an emphasis on character driven plots, my beta reading services provide a detailed 3-5 page feedback report as well as in-line comments.
This is a stage where you should still expect significant changes to be made.
PROOFREADING
Proofreading is the final stage of editing once a manuscript becomes a book but before it is published. It’s the quality-control stage to pick up any errors once everything else has been done.
Proofreading is the last step before publication and therefore the very last round of editing. It focuses on spelling, grammar, consistency, and formatting.
At this stage, you should expect no rewriting or changes, just corrections once everything else is complete.
I offer indie and self publishing fantasy authors professional beta reading and proofreading services.
