Jen Graybeal

Jen Graybeal – Editor

Editor. Grammar Geek. Author Cheerleader. Expert in working with Romance and other genres. Non-fiction projects welcome.

Overview

Your words. My expertise. Services include expert editing and proofreading, and I always go above and beyond for my clients. If you need feedback on your novel, insight into what is working or not, recommendations for how to improve characters, story arcs, suspense, pacing, voice and even action sequences then I will work through those problems and kick your prose up a couple of notches.

My clients range from first time authors to multi-book best sellers. One client said, "I have worked with Jen Graybeal on my last three novels and it is my intention to continue working with her. She has the ability to recognize places in my stories where I need to add more emotion, action, etc. to achieve the best possible story for my readers. I am very pleased with the work she has done for me and I highly recommend her to any author wishing to work with a professional, experienced editor."

Writing is a solitary pursuit -- it is just the author and the blank page waiting to be filled. But the editing process should be a collaborative effort with someone you can trust to tell you the truth when something isn't working, while maintaining the utmost respect for your voice and your story. I would like a chance to be that partner. Let's chat and see what happens.
