TESTIMONIALS
articles: Working with Jennifer is awesome because she doesn’t slash and burn my drafts based on word count needs—instead taking the extra care and time to align with what I am trying to say. —Scott Henderson, IDSA, Principle, Scott Henderson Inc.
As the managing editor of a short-run association publication, I rely heavily on Jennifer’s professionalism, thoroughness and sensitivity. Once an article has been submitted Jennifer is more than capable of following through directly with the author to ensure the piece is clear and concise, maintains our publication’s style and yet retains the author’s voice. As we accept articles not written by professional writers, this is no small feat. —Karen Berube, Managing Editor, Innovation, and Owner, K.Designs
book & technical editing: I worked with Jennifer for over five years on a book I recently published. I don’t think of her as an editor; I think of her as a writing coach. She asks the right questions to help you flush out your ideas. We formed such a great working relationship that she now reviews all my architecture firm’s written reports for clients. —Suzanne Sowinski, President and Director of Sustainable Buildings, Sowinski Sullivan Architects
developmental editing: “I want to thank you for everything you have done to help us get our manuscript in shape to submit to the publisher. … You are a joy to work with…your patience, clarity of thought, ability to work skillfully with strong personalities, ability to zero in on the weakest parts of my chapters, suggestions that always made the text stronger, your encouraging words, your gentle ways and delightful personality.” —Mary Ann Eaddy, Author of Seeking Eden: A Collection of Georgia’s Historic Gardens (University of Georgia Press)
