  I'm Jacob Whiten. I have a background as an attorney, a job that requires compelling and clean writing. One missed detail can be the difference between winning and losing a case for a client. So you can be certain that, if we work together, I will take the editing process seriously and work to polish your manuscript as much as possible.

I have an editing certificate from the University of Chicago, where I was taught by instructors with decades of editing experience. Some of my instructors have worked on the Chicago Manual of Style itself, which is the primary style guide used in the book publishing industry.
