Jeannine Thibodeau

Jeannine Thibodeau – Editor

I've been an editor for 20 years now, and I've done everything from line editing, copy editing, and proofreading from academia to fiction.

Overview

Line editor, copy editor, and proofreader of everything from academia (3rd grade to college texts, in English grammar/lit, US & world history) to fiction--from romance and erotica, mystery and thrillers. I am generally known to be VERY easy to work with--give me some instruction on what you need, and I will take it to the next level. I'm also known for getting my work in early, and I'm very communicative throughout your projects. I won't pat you on the head and say "Great job," but I WILL make your work shine and be the very best it can be.

She always kept a keen eye on my work and questioned things that were dubious. I would hire her again, in a heartbeat. As a new author, she is very insightful and went above and beyond to help my work shine. The best ...
