As a dedicated fantasy enthusiast, I understand what makes a fantasy novel resonate: rich world-building, compelling characters, and intricate magic systems. My feedback is tailored to your manuscript’s needs, offering a reader’s perspective with professional insights to elevate your story. 

Here’s what you get:
