Magical realism is tricky. You want readers to feel grounded in the real world, while also letting them believe in the impossible. I had the heart of the story there, but the transitions between the magical and everyday moments just weren’t flowing right. That’s when I turned to British Proofreading’s book editing service, and it changed everything. My editor got the tone straight away. They helped me clean up scenes that felt too abstract, and showed me where to lean in more emotionally. They gave great feedback on pacing, especially during the slower, more reflective chapters, and helped me build stronger connections between the characters and the magic woven through the plot. What I loved most was that they didn’t try to over-explain the magical elements. They knew when to let things stay strange, which is so important in this genre. If you’re writing something a little dreamy, a little poetic, and a little offbeat—this is the editing team you want to work with.
