Britta Jensen – Editor

Your journey as an author needs 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 twenty-two years of combined editing, publishing and teaching experience, as well as explore methods that have helped my clients win awards, get published and become better writers.

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. Our editing partnership will include feedback that helps you reach your publishing vision, as well as a concrete action plan.

I believe in a holistic editing process that respects your authorship, while helping you reach that next stage on your publication journey! I'm an editor with a teacher's heart. You'll not only understand what needs improvement and is already working, but why! I'm also a member of SCBWI, EFA (Editorial Freelancers Association), and The Writer's League of Texas. 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! Go ahead and send me that brief! I'm excited to hear about your story!

PRAISE FOR MY EDITORIAL WORK

"I am learning so much from you right now…so much! You’re like my personal writing workshop, Britta! Thank you.”-Barbara Hawryluk, author of Wounded

“Britta is a pleasure to work with. I belong to several communities with editors in residence, and I can confidently say that Britta is the best I've worked with. She not only has the chops she needs to help you take your manuscript to the next level, but she is also professional, punctual, and manages to be honest without being offensive or onerous. I know that choosing to invest in editing is a big decision, both for you as a writer and your pocket book. The experiences I have had with Britta have really helped me hone my craft. You're not just getting an edit, you're getting additional skills that you will use in your future writing."--Donovan Bergin, author

“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 series

“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
