Telani beta read a POV change rewrite on my YA epic fantasy novel The Last Dragonfly. She was a great communicator, patient with my delay due to an emergency, and thorough in her report so I could put out quality product. I recommend her for anyone looking for another set of non-bias eyes on their writing project.
The turn around time was great

The turn around time was great. I got a full, well-rounded response of my manuscript within 48 hours. She even had her own feedback sheet.

Telani was a fantastic beta reader. She read through the manuscript of my fantasy novel much faster than I had anticipated, and all of her notes were thoughtful, easy to understand, and supportive.
She pointed out areas in my story that would benefit from clarity, and things that might make a reader stumble. I deeply appreciate her working with me on my project.

A great experience. I was initially cautious of handing my dog training manuscript over to anyone else. I have a particular conversation style of writing, which I wanted to maintain. Terani was brilliant – making suggestions, reordering some sections to give a better flow, but without losing my voice/personality. Nothing was too much trouble, even the late changes I wanted to make.
Outstanding Experience with Precise Syntax

Services Provided: Proofreading & Final Checks for Fantasy fiction manuscripts
I recently worked with Telani Lasoleille to proofread two urban fantasy book drafts that I’d written. Telani was responsive, comprehensive, and took the time to explain how some of the rules I’d learned in English classes as a middle school and high school student have evolved in the years since. She had the first round of proofreading finished quickly, and sent it back for my acceptance.
Telani pointed out some inconsistencies in my storyline which I’d missed, and suggested possible remedies. She was very supportive, and gave clear suggestions for me to consider. Telani was always prompt in responding to communications, and thorough in following up. I will use her proofreading services again for my third book. I soundly recommend her for any proofreading projects you have.
