Jean’s process is professional, straightforward, and timely. She dives right into the characters, their motives, actions, and choices, and worked diligently to help me further develop my story. If you’re looking for an editor to help you sharpen your delivery, fine tune your character development, and navigate the execution of key themes and takeaways, Jean is more than capable! — Lizabeth Phoenix

Jean cuts directly to the important stuff. I feel like I learned more from her edits over the course of a few weeks than I did from years of self-study. There are thousands of editors out there, but there are few special ones such as Jean. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to kick their writing up a notch. — J. Merkel

As someone who is new to writing, I couldn’t be more satisfied with the services Jean has provided me. I have found her services to go above and beyond what my expectations were, and she has set a higher bar for her competitors. Her insight has been well worth what she charges, and it is extremely valuable. I’ve worked with Jean on three projects (so far) in the genres of paranormal romance and urban fantasy, all of which she has provided her usual high calibre of services.

Jean’s feedback is thorough, honest, insightful, and concise. She provided clear, specific examples in my manuscript with relevant resources that guided me to improve areas I struggled with. She responds to queries promptly and her speedy turnaround doesn’t leave me biting my nails into stumps.

Jean’s eye for detail in her manuscript evaluations will find those pesky plot holes, timeline issues, inconsistencies, mechanical issues with your prose, weak spots, and lots, lots more. She’s the perfect balance of professionally critical and motivational. I found her attention to both style and content very helpful when crafting my revision plan. I could work forward with confidence, knowing that if I had questions about feedback Jean would be there to shed light on the situation.

Overall, working with Jean has helped me grow exponentially as an author. She’s truly a rare find. I highly recommend her services! I will definitely continue to enlist her help with my upcoming projects. —Andrea Lee
