EDITORIAL SERVICES

  • I specialize in the developmental editing of fiction, creative nonfiction, and memoir projects. As your personal guide through the revision process, I'll delve into your work—whether it's 10, 50, or 200 pages—and provide detailed margin notes. Together, we'll elevate your project to the next level. Let's embark on this creative venture together!

  • Whether you're self-publishing, seeking an agent, looking for an independent publisher, or already have a publishing contract and need help with a revision, I offer a broad spectrum of editorial services to meet your needs. I charge an hourly rate for shorter pieces and a project rate for memoirs and novels. Feel free to contact me for an estimate.

TESTIMONIALS

"Jennifer has transformed my writing--resulting in crisp, polished pieces that are ready to publish. She invests multiple re-reads to understand characters and bring out their true depth, cuts out distracting threads and pushes writers to unearth rich, compelling stories."

-Thomas Barron, author of Bocas, Bronte, and Bolinas   

​

"Jennifer is a caring, considerate editor. She believes in the lives and autonomy of characters, whether they are real or fictional. She speaks to their desires and their wills, advocating for everyone in a story to have their own dignity and be heard.

She does the most important thing an editor can do, which is tell the writer what they already know, but are unwilling to face. When she is a third of the way through giving me feedback on a piece, I resist it and wish she would just tell me I'm great. Two-thirds of the way through I realize she is right and that I can almost see the end of her sentence before she gets there. And after she is done giving me feedback I have a dozen new ideas of how to go deeper with my piece and make it more complete. Because of her input, my stories have more empathy, more depth, and feel like a truer expression of what I was hoping to say."

- -Nick Jaina, author of Hitomi and Get It While You Can
