“Fantasy fiction is so complex and this manuscript has lots of loose threads.”
“I love the concept but it’s going to take a lot of work to make it publishable.”
“All I can do is suggest the author finds an editor… maybe they’ll come back.”
“I wish we had an expert we could send our more complex manuscripts to”
“The fantastical elements have logic flaws and the magic doesn’t make sense.”
“I just wish I had more time to work on this and help shape it!”
“I think we need specialist support”
Does this sound familiar? If so, we may be wanting the same thing! (Psst! And it’s not to replace any existing editorial teams!)
We’re looking to form partnerships!
As a fantasy fiction consultancy offering specialist services, we’re not looking to replace anyone. What we are looking to do is form long-lasting partnership with literary agencies and publishers.
If you’d like to know exactly why, take a look below!
Are you a literary agent representing fantasy fiction?
We can help with preparing manuscripts for acquistion, mastering magic systems and polishing novels to be low-risk investments for publishers!
If a potential client’s manuscript isn’t quite there, we can work with them to polish it so they don’t go elsewhere or self-publish before it’s ready!
If your own editorial capacity is pushed to its limits, we can be on hand to ease the load!
If you have more complex manuscripts and need help with magic systems or developmental editing, we’ll be here!
Are you an editor working on fantasy fiction?
If you encounter a complex fantasy novel in need of specialist support, we can help!
If the magic system in the manuscript you’re working on isn’t working, our analysis can help shape things up and future-proof it for future novels in the series!
If you’ve developmentally edited a manuscript and want to shorten the revisions process, our editorial impact assessment can save you time and support the author with tackling amends!
If you have a teetering workload stack and would like some extra support from a specialist in the genre, get in touch!
This isn’t about replacing existing editorial teams and experts, but is about providing a specialist service to ease workloads and to tackle the more complex manuscripts.
