Stories shaped, manuscripts strengthened

Here's a look at the work I've supported — each piece reflecting a writer's unique voice, and the collaborative care that helped it grow.

Analysis + Edit + Proof

Insurrection

by Raymond Beckham & Darius Cook

Raymond and Darius brought a sweeping adventure of a story to me, and I was entranced by its magic. I responded first with deep appreciation for the characters and the world, then with ideas for deepening the storyline, improving the flow, and polishing the mechanics of the writing.

“Jessica became far more than we hired her for. What began as narration turned into a true creative partnership, and the world of Olas is richer for it. We couldn't have brought Insurrection: The Lost Sigil to life without her.”— Raymond Beckham & Darius Cook

Proof

Gate to Kagoshima

by Poppy Kuroki

Poppy's book was completely revised and ready for a final proofread when she brought it to me. I fell heartfirst into the time-travel romance, completed the proof, and not long later, the book found its way to a major publisher!

“Jessica did a great job proofreading my novel. Her eagle eye caught mistakes I and many beta readers missed! Thoroughly recommend.”— Poppy Kuroki

Consult + Proof

#TrustTheProcess

by Janice M. Coleman

Janice's mission is right there in her subtitle: walk jobseekers from layoff to landing with their confidence intact. We began with a consult to shape the book's aims, and I finished with a proofread that keeps her practical, encouraging voice front and center.

“Jessica is an excellent editor. Her knowledge of proofing is amazing. She knows grammar in depth. Her ability to understand me and my audience helped my book to be informative AND relevant. I will definitely seek her expertise for more projects. 10 out of 5! Thank you!”— Janice M. Coleman

More projects added as they wrap up.
