Stephanie Storm Author Services
An established author, Stephanie wants to offer authors the support she has discovered during her writing journey. She found that beta reading was the hardest part of her author journey to solve. It was dependent on many factors, most of which an indie author couldn’t control, and few people offer it as a service. Taking a page out of her author experience, she set out to offer the service through Bitch’n Books Editorial. Stephanie has a love for blurbs and creating eye-catching descriptions to draw your readers in. Along with beta reading and blurb creation, Stephanie also has experience with motivational editing and proofreading.
Based in Amsterdam with her husband, Stephanie spends her days immersed in the world of technology at her day job. In her spare time, you can find her planning her next travel adventure, going to Barre classes, and writing the next story in her intense publishing schedule.
Blurb Creation
Together, we will collaborate through several rounds of updating and building on the blurb, until we’ve found the right combination of hooks, without giving the plot away. All this while not exceeding word count requirements. The end product will be a blurb for the back of your book.
starting at $50USD
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing begins after your second or third draft. I will work with you to make sure that the plot and characters are developed well and maintain their integrity throughout your work. I will make sure that the story flows well, makes sense, and give ideas and suggestions on how overall improvements can be made. Any plot holes or inconsistencies will be documented with ideas on how to fix them. This service includes a marked document with comments, an accompanying report, and a thirty minute check in call for any questions you might have after reviewing the edit.

Beta Reading
During a beta read, my focus remains on the reader experience. I leverage my author expertise when I need to offer feedback. I'll review your manuscript with a pair of fresh eyes. Being a published fantasy author myself, I understand the pacing, plot, and character requirements in our genre. Because of this, I'm also your target audience and will be able to give ideas of where your story has emotional impact, as well as parts that could be confusing and alternatives on how to rectify that. This service is best used after Alpha reading but before Copy or Line edits.

Client Reviews
I am so incredibly grateful that I got the experience of working with Stephanie Storm! From the moment I inquired about beta reading and developmental editing, she has been so thoughtful, thorough, and helpful. My book, The Starlight Savior, would not be what it is without her. Every moment I felt stuck, Stephanie was there to help work through any plot points, confusion, or to simply hype me up. I'm so grateful to not only have connected with an amazing author and editor, but make a friend! I would trust Stephanie with any of my writing, and I cannot wait to keep working with her with future drafts. I can't imagine working with anyone else.

Trusting Stephanie with my novels was one of the best choices I ever made. She was my first alpha reader for my debut novel, The Bombshell Devil’s Advocate, and I was so incredibly impressed with her work that I would even go so far as to say she performed a developmental edit. Her attention to detail and ability to question plot points and identify holes proved to be one of the most valuable tools in my arsenal during the editing phase. Stephanie doesn’t just ask the hard questions—she provides solutions and champions your story. I will forever trust her with my work and couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Stephanie is an incredible beta reader and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She brings wit, thoughtful critique, giddy reactions and so much heart to the process. I’ve worked with her on two books and I cannot wait to work with her again. All the stars!!
