Our first Reedsy experience was a good one. Jen was prompt and thorough. She provided exactly what we wanted from an editor. We plan to collaborate more in the future.
Paul Wootten, July 2022
Jen’s professional, prompt and comprehensive manuscript critique was well worth every penny. It concerned me to shell out a fee at the developmental stage, but JR Boles’ insight (a full breakdown of plot, characters, pacing, voice, etc.) elevated my story where readers are sure to remain hooked! Thank you, Jen for your candor, diligence and especially your enthusiastic encouragement!
Elizabeth McIntyre, June 2022
Another excellent experience with Jen, and I've already booked her for the next manuscript!
Charlene Perry, May 2022
Jen not only guided us through the process but surpassed our expectations in the quality of the work! The books are now live on Amazon, ahead of our schedule, because of Jen's help.

Loved working with Jen. I just booked my next project with her.
