Britta Jensen - Editor

I want your journey as a writer to include working with someone as enthusiastic about your story as you are! Writing is not a solo endeavor. It requires collaboration, revision and a willingness to learn. Often success is a matter of finding the right partner to help you. I'd love to share my seventeen years of combined literacy and publishing experience, as well as explore methods that have helped my clients win awards, get published and become better writers.

My goal is for you to walk away from our editing partnership with feedback that will help you reach your publishing vision. I have a lot of experience editing YA SFF, MG, adult Fantasy and SF, Thriller, Women's Fiction, Multi-Cultural fiction as well as short stories. The most important part of our work together is making sure that my feedback is crafted around your intended vision for your story so that the most essential threads of the narrative aren't lost or muddled when you receive edits. I believe in a holistic editing process that will make sure that your work is always yours, but with feedback that will help you reach that next stage on your publication journey! I'm also a member of SCBWI, EFA (Editorial Freelancers Association), The Writer's League of Texas and ALLi (Alliance of Independent Authors). I'm also always reading, attending conferences and conducting industry research to make sure you have the most up to date information about the publishing industry!

PRAISE FOR MY EDITORIAL WORK

“Every piece of Britta’s feedback felt invaluable, but really it was the questions that brought about the most important changes. Britta’s feedback made me feel like I had a partner working with me to make my manuscript the best version of itself.”
-Annie Williams, author of The Line of Tepes

“Britta is fantastic! She listened as I told her about my end goals and edited my manuscript with those in mind. Criticism is never easy, but it’s a necessary part if we want to grow. Britta doesn’t sugarcoat, as no good editor should. She takes her job seriously and focuses on what her clients want to achieve. Her one-on-one is invaluable! Britta took as much time necessary to answer ALL my questions and clarify any confusion. I left realizing I still had a lot of work to do but also had a game plan that will take me one step closer (if not more) to my goal. Thank you, Britta, for pushing me to be my best!”
-Amelie Corner author of Flower in the Ash, Finalist for the 2019 Writer’s League of Texas Manuscript Contest

“I learned so much: keeping a consistent POV (point of view), setting the scene, getting rid of unnecessary detail, being precise. The best gift from Britta was validation of what I was doing right. I loved how she organized her feedback into manageable chunks: story development, voice, prose, etc. It made tackling the revisions a lot less daunting.”
-Chuck Preston Jr. author of Road Burn

“Britta has taught me how to look deeper into my characters and make them live and breathe on paper.”
-Eddie Bujans, short story author
