    I booked Jess twice. The first go around she gave me such good notes on my novel that I implemented them on yet another edit. Once done I contracted her to read it again. It was a great experience for me to write with the knowledge she would be checking it for flow, clarity and storytelling. I can’t wait to write another book and to work with her again!

    Working with Jessica has been, once again, a wonderful experience. I cannot imagine working with anyone else now when I have a manuscript that needs an in-depth review.

The detailed notes she provided outlining my novel’s structure and...

    Jess provided me with a helpful, very thorough review of my manuscript. The reader report was detailed and addressed all the questions I initially had. The inline comments are also greatly appreciated and useful. I feel like her comments were honest and encouraging at the same time. As I'm returning...

    Jessica did an outstanding job reviewing my query letter and synopsis. After her initial suggestions, I had some questions, and she provided a lot of helpful suggestions as I worked through more edits. She was knowledgeable, professional, and very timely in her responses. I would definitely recommend her.
