About Fabled Planet
Kahina Necaise
Executive editor
As a writer of fantasy or science fiction, you are contributing to a human tradition that goes back to ancient times: the vivid imagining of worlds unlike the one we know. This need to portray new, internally consistent worlds creates unique challenges and possibilities for authors in these genres, and our team is here to help you embrace both.
With content to guide you from idea to draft and a range of services to help take you from rewrites to publication and beyond, we combine a strong command of story craft with a passion for speculative fiction to arm you with tools and counsel for every step of your writing journey. Welcome, adventurer, to our Fabled Planet.

Specialist fantasy and science fiction editing
Looking for an editor for your fantasy or science fiction novel? We provide specialist editing services for speculative fiction writers, including content editing, line editing, copy-editing, and proofreading. Our editors combine a passion for the genre with a deep knowledge of story craft and a meticulous approach to grammar and consistency.
CONTENT EDITING
Content editing is concerned with the substance of your story, including the plot, structure, themes, worldbuilding, characterisation, and overall writing quality. It’s the first stage in the editing process, evaluating your manuscript’s strengths and where it can be improved. Our content editing reports come with comprehensive recommendations on how to tackle any problems we identify.
LINE EDITING
Line editing improves the style of the prose in your manuscript, helping your story to flow better and making the language more engaging. The editor will go through your manuscript line by line, improving the writing as they go. We often recommend it if a manuscript has a strong story but the writing is inconsistent or needs to be sharpened in order to ensure it reaches its full potential.
COPY-EDITING & PROOFREADING
Copy-editing and proofreading happen after the substantive elements of your story have been refined and settled. Copy-editing involves editing the grammar, punctuation, syntax, and formatting of your manuscript, as well as fixing typos and ensuring consistency and logic. Proofreading is the last stage, involving a final check for typos, grammatical errors, and other mistakes.
Coaching services
Our coaching services are designed to support fantasy and science fiction writers by giving them a structured path towards completing their novels.
WORK-IN-PROGRESS GROUP COACHING
Our work-in-progress group coaching program combines critiques and guidance from an expert tutor with feedback and support from a group of fellow fantasy and science fiction writers. The program lasts for six months and accommodates a range of experience, from writers who are just starting on their first novel to those who have already been published.
ONE-TO-ONE COACHING
Our one-to-one coaching service aims to provide you with an ally throughout the novel-writing journey: someone who gets to know the story and the writer and helps to develop both. This is achieved through monthly goal-setting and critique of your work-in-progress, along with weekly check-ins to help you with accountability, find your unique best writing process, and discuss any snags in your story.
Beta reader service
Looking for detailed, honest feedback on your manuscript from your target audience? Our beta reader service, which pairs you with a team of real fantasy/science fiction readers, could be just what you need.
BETA READER SERVICE
Our beta reader service gives you the opportunity to share your manuscript with a team of hand-picked beta readers, who will then provide detailed feedback that will help make your story as strong as it can possibly be. Our beta readers fill an important gap in the writing and editing process, providing the kind of feedback that only true fans of the fantasy and science fiction genres could give.
ARC service
Reviews are crucial for selling your books, but getting them can be challenging. Our ARC service is here to help – it’s effective and adheres to Amazon’s rules.
ARC SERVICE
Our ARC (advance reader copy) service gives you the opportunity to share your book with our ARC readers prior to publication. We will then invite them to review your book on Amazon once it has been published. This enables you to generate early reviews for your book, which will help give you momentum and boost sales during the critical first few months and beyond.

David Musk
Author of The Lost Redeemer
“I’ve had all five of my books copy-edited by Fabled Planet, and it’s been a great experience. I needed people who understood the unique demands of the fantasy genre, and their detailed style guide kept my worldbuilding consistent across all my projects. Their insights sharpened my prose, their communication was clear, and they always delivered the finished manuscripts on time. I highly recommend their services to any fantasy author seeking top-tier editing.”
JH Gruger
Author of Gravity of Sol-3
“The structural report from Fabled Planet was invaluable in elevating Gravity of Sol-3 to the next level. My chosen editor had an outstanding grasp of the genre and comprehensively assessed each chapter and scene of my manuscript. I am delighted with the detailed feedback and recommendations that helped refine my story’s plot, structure, characterization, and world-building. It opened my eyes to important gaps in the story, encouraged me to promote a minor character to a strong antagonist POV, and even clinched my choice for the final title. The team’s professionalism and clear communication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Fabled Planet’s services to any sci-fi author looking to enhance their manuscript.”
Lars H. Larsen
Author of Dark Highway Home: Reaching Home
“I am so pleased I chose Fabled Planet to copy-edit my series. Their professionalism, clear communication, and punctuality throughout the process made everything smooth and stress-free. I may know how to tell a story, but my grammar, word usage, and punctuation leave something to be desired. Their meticulous approach ensured my work was polished, professional, and ready for publication. I’ve been impressed by their knowledge and insight into the speculative fiction genre, as well as their commitment to delivering high-quality results. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to any speculative fiction author seeking copy-editing services.”
