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.

Jeaninne has been invaluable. She corrects my grammar, and she gives recommendations to help the stories flow well.
Charles Bartlett, August 2021
Jeannine was exactly what I was looking for in an editor. Her feedback was constructive, and she was in constant communication during the project. I wasn't sure what to expect from Reedsy - I'd never heard of the site and didn't know anyone who had, but Jeannine made it such a wonderful experience, I'll be using it and her for all of my editing needs going forward. Thank you, Jeannine!

Jeannine is helping me with my first novella. It is always a pleasure to see an email from her in my inbox. Her advice helps by giving me insight into how to write these short stories. But the thing I like most about Jeannine is her honesty. I trust her opinions and advice.

Jeannine not only corrects my errors, she offers me valuable advice. I trust her!
