Hey, I’m Tim Saian—though online, you might know me better as Books_Will_Be. I’m a published author with over a decade of experience writing and serializing binge-worthy Progression Fantasy, and I now channel that hard earned EXP into Developmental Editing for other writers carving out their own worlds.

I specialize exclusively in LitRPG, Progression Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi, and Mystery. These are the genres I love, the ones I’ve lived in as both a writer and a fan. Smart worldbuilding always excites me, and few things are more satisfying than helping a story tighten its pacing, sharpen its structure, or strengthen its character arcs until it sings. However, if you’re writing a Cultivation or Xianxia fiction, I’m cheering from the sidelines but I’m not your guy just yet.

My editing style is candid but optimistic. I’ll always call out repetition or missteps when I see them, but just as quickly, I’ll highlight the moments that work— those gems, even in early drafts, that show you exactly what you’re capable of. My goal is never just to ‘fix’ your story, but to help you understand why something works so you can keep doing it on your own.

Still not sure? I offer a free 2,000-word sample edit and a 30-minute consultation call to talk shop; whether it’s your plot outline, story intentions, or figuring out if we're the right fit.

Let’s make your vision something readers can’t put down.
