Fantasy and Science Fiction
A great escape…
Fantasy and science fiction gives authors the freedom to imagine. Dragons, portals, magic, other worlds… in a day and age where readers are desperate for escapism, is it any wonder fantasy and sci-fi are in such high demand?
Fantasy and sci-fi are booming, earning $590.2 million in the US annually. Audiobooks are also in high demand, generating $1.6 billion in revenue in 2021 (the category with the largest portion of audiobook sales).* Kickstarters, Patreons, and royalty share audiobooks are in, and independent fantasy and sci-fi authors have more options than ever. Whether you’re writing fantasy romance, gaslamp fantasy, cyberpunk, space opera, or something that defies genres, it’s a great time for fantasy and sci-fi authors!

Portfolio & Testimonials
Rachelle is by far the best editor I’ve worked with. She always exceeds her deadlines, is friendly and fun to work with, and had a deep, intrinsic understanding of what makes sentences flow. She follows stylistic rules without disrupting the characters’ voices. Her style sheets are incredibly detailed and span the entire series as a whole, so nothing gets missed between books. She has a genuine love of the romance genre and it comes across in the way she edits. I’ve personally recommended her to several other authors and all have come back to me and thanked me for the recommendation. I would 100% recommend her services!
- Zara J Black
I recently switched to indie publishing and was very lost on how the process worked outside of a small house. Rachelle answered all my questions and I didn’t feel stupid about not knowing anything. She was meticulous when it came to editing my work, without compromising on allowing my author voice to come through. There were positive comments as well as explanations for why the edits were made so that I could learn. I feel so much better about submitting my manuscript after she looked it over, and I will definitely be using her service again for all my future works!

I was an absolute nervous wreck the first time I considered letting someone touch my first book. And then I talked to Rachelle. She made a stressful situation smooth as silk. She didn’t mind my idle chatter and always took my worries into account. Patience and kindness go a long way. I couldn’t ask for a better editor. Her time and effort are worth every penny. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to touch my work. She’s got a customer for life.
