“Being my first book, I felt nervous about handing it over. The nerves very quickly turned to excitement! Jessica kept me informed every step of the way so I knew what was coming next, one step at a time, encouraging and supporting me to throughout. It was like having my own personal cheerleader! The standard of the work itself surprised and delighted me. I loved the suggestions and improvements that were in keeping with the tone of the book whilst really bringing it to life. The service was above and beyond what I expected with guidance on all things books related along the way. I would highly recommend working with Jessica and her team!”

7 Paradigm Shifts

“I would recommend Jessica to everyone who wants their work to shine that little brighter. It was beautiful to witness areas of my book develop in ways I hadn't considered. Jessica became my extra vision. I never felt rushed or that I was asking too many questions. She walked me through every step of the way, even sending me a short video tutorial. I look forward to working with her again on my next book. She is truly wonderful to work with.”

Building Business Beyond the Magnolia Box

“It was such a joy to work with Jessica and her team. Writing a book is such a personal experience, but the edits provided were continuous of that, and very thorough. I have worked with many editors when I previously worked in publishing houses, but I was hugely impressed with the quality of amends, on par, if not better than the likes of OUP and Usborne. Just a wonderful experience.

Destination Author

“I was looking for an editor who was thorough and could handle some pushback. As a confident writer, I needed to know that my editor would be honest with me and help me see my blind spots. It is no small feat to edit a fellow editor's work and Jess did so with grace. One of Jess's many talents is being able to nudge you in the right direction with simplicity, which is something an overwhelmed writer with a lot to juggle can be truly grateful for!”

“Every book needs a fabulous editor. I’m so glad my book found Jessica! Thank you for your help at every step, Jessica. Your commitment to work, fabulous editing skills, eye for detail and constant encouragement made this happen.

Movement, Prayer & Scripture

“Jessica was fantastic at helping me get both my books edited and in a state that they could go forward for publishing. Along the whole journey Jessica made sure I was happy with what she was suggesting and encouraged me in my writing too. Jessica always kept lines of communication open, responding in a timely manner and providing extra input when needed. I thoroughly enjoyed allowing Jessica to edit my book and would quite happily ask her to help with another.”
