Jackie RAYMOND – Editor

The 'Corset for Flabby Writing’ helping Christian authors and entrepreneurs to achieve polished, engaging and impactful nonfiction books.

Overview

I am the 'Corset for Flabby Writing', helping Christian authors and entrepreneurs of nonfiction books to achieve “say it with their chest” confidence by tightening up their writing and enhancing their message.


I provide a safe pair of eyes and hands to pull your manuscript into the best possible shape. Your writing will still be able to breathe AND it’ll still sound like you.


I am a Christian and Kingdom entrepreneur of African Caribbean heritage, and I specialise in editing books in these niches.


Even if you don't write in these genres, I'd love to hear from you. With over 20 years’ experience, you can be confident of receiving a premium editing service from me. Whether you're a busy CEO or a first-time author, I can help make your writing even better.


I welcome manuscripts of less than 60,000 words in length, and look forward to hearing from you.
