Jaime P. – Editor

Editor-in-Chief with 7+ years of content, copy editing, and proofreading experience. It will still be your book, your voice, only louder!

Overview

Hello you beautiful monsters!


You did it! You made it to my profile! When I told my husband he started calling all our relatives! Some baked elaborate desserts in your honor. Others felt moved to write poetry. That really jacked guy at the gym started doing vigorous push-ups. Everyone rejoiced! So the hard part is over!


l’m Jaime, a professional editor, who has worked as a content and copy editor, as well as a proofing editor in all fiction genres. I am Editor-in-Chief for Crystal Lake Publishing, a publishing house specializing in dark fiction, and I’m also an editor for the company My Book Inside, but I still make plenty of time for exciting Reedsy projects.


I love giving my authors as many tools as I can to help them succeed in the publishing world. That's why you will see that not only do I execute a thorough editing of your manuscript, but I also give lots of tips of the trade in the margins! During the process I will be one of your biggest cheerleaders! So feel free to message me day or night; I always keep Reedsy open on my computer 24-7. Can't wait to work with you!

Jaime was so fast and sweet with her responses throughout the time we worked together. I also found her very understanding and knowledgeable. There were many things I was taught through her edit, like how to emphasize emotion in a better way and to look for specific words that are weak. I enjoyed our time together and her encouragement :)
Jaime P.
It was so great working with you. Hopefully we get to work together on future projects!

I worried that having my stories professionally edited wound diminish my voice, and that my thoughts and story messages would get lost in the edit. I’m very glad to say this was not the case and I’m very happy with the edits Jaime recommended. I had to wait a few months – which shows Jaime’s skills are in demand. But t...

Fortunately, I have had amazing people like Jaime Powell in my corner, on my side, keeping me on the path to greater success. Jaime is a profoundly thorough copy editor and proofreader. Atop all of the recommended changes, additions and omissions, her notes and explanations have been profoundly insightfu...
