Testimonials

“Jennifer has the makings of the ideal twenty-first-century publishing company; she is a respectful, easy-to-collaborate-with editor who offers some sound manuscript judgment calls. She also has a deft copyediting hand, amazing technological support skills, and incredibly valuable social media marketing savvy. Her rates are very reasonable and spelled out clearly in advance. In sum, working with Jennifer on my KDP e-book was a much more pleasurable experience than the one I had when a traditional independent press published a book of mine a few years ago.” —Wendy Aron, author of How a 52-Year-Old Neurotic Survived 24 Hours without Health Insurance (And You Can, Too!)

“Being a first-time author, I couldn’t have asked for more in the experience I had working with Jenn. After putting my writing on hold for several years, I went through a month-long process to choose an editor to help me through the daunting task of writing a book. By chance I found Jenn and could not have been happier with my choice. From the many rounds of editing to educating me on the different means of distributing the book, Jenn assisted me in all aspects of the book writing process and also was able to help design my website and offer tips on marketing. Her patience for someone like me with no experience was great as she helped me through the six-month journey. I can even credit her for keeping me on track on several occasions, since there were times when I felt like I couldn’t find the time to finish. After finally finishing, I am more than pleased along with my sudden fan-base of the quality book Jenn helped me turn out. I never dreamed I would become a writer, but Jenn has given me the confidence I needed to pursue my passion and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone better on future projects.” —JD Holmes, author of “I Like Your Form”: Confessions of a Personal Trainer
