Kassandra Tyst, author of The Portrait of Theodore Quill
“Jen was wonderful! Her feedback consisted of several pages worth of great notes, pointing out both things she enjoyed as well as areas I could improve upon. She was professional and quick, and I’m excited to get started on my edits. Again, thank you so much, Jen!"
John Colin Jacobson, author of Major Development
"Jen was upfront, punctual, and most importantly honest. She clearly understands story, structure, writing, and grammar/syntax. Her feedback was actionable as to fix issues with my manuscript and her recommendation of services upon completion of the sample edit and beta report was straight forward and more than reasonably fairly priced for the effort put forth (a lot!!!). She delivered ahead of when I had expected and really dove deep into the story as to help greatly improve the writing on the page, mostly concerned about the experience of the reader, as any good writer or editor would and should! I would recommend her services to anyone looking to improve their craft!"
Haldana Elliott, author of Cynomancy
"I couldn’t say enough good things about the quality of the feedback and edits! Starting off with the editorial letter, it was a great snapshot that gave a brief summation of areas to focus on to improve the manuscript, alongside encouraging comments on where to sustain. Her reader report gave detailed chapter by chapter notes and commentary that were punctuated with her personality, letting me know that it wasn’t some machine on the other side, but a person having real reactions to the manuscript. It was a great way to get into the mind of a blind reader, and on top of that she even provided useful resources to assist with narrative structure and pacing. The copy edit sample caught all the hidden-in-plain-sight technical errors along with the nuanced errors, making the flow of the chapter smoother, and streamlined the legibility down to the most granular level.
Overall, after incorporating her feedback, my work finally felt publisher ready. Her expertise in fiction really shined, and I would recommend her services to any author, debut or established, for comprehensive, actionable feedback that will turn your project into something truly polished. Her turnaround was prompt, and she maintained great communication throughout the entire process."
S.K., author of The Doll Museum
“Jen provided me with a sample edit as well as a beta read of my manuscript, and her feedback was incredibly thoughtful, sharp, and thorough. She identified strengths in the writing and also provided insight into opportunities for improvement that I hadn't thought of myself — these suggested changes would definitely help to strengthen and polish my story. She was incredibly supportive and professional throughout the entire process, and I appreciated getting a taste of her skills! She would be a fantastic editor for anyone hoping to bring their work to the next level!"
Chen Okafor, author of Untitled
"Jen is a professional through and through. She replied to my queries and completed the review of my first chapter on time. Her suggestions hit home for me and she was able to give feedback in a way that did not diminish me or my work. I appreciate all of her critique and I look forward to the revision process with her notes in mind. I'd gladly recommend her services to anyone!"
Chrissy Pon, Retribution
"Working with Jen was a positive experience. Jen was professional and communicated well throughout the process. The sample edit demonstrated her proficiency with line edits and grammatical errors. Additionally, Jen provided thoughtful suggestions with links to helpful resources. I believe her feedback will be helpful in improving the flow and structure of my work. Some noteworthy suggestions included 'adding visualization cues to the manuscript to create a deeper grounding in the setting' and 'considering what interesting things the characters can be doing while they’re talking.' I appreciate the time she dedicated to my project and would happily recommend her expertise to others."
