Jenny Sims – Editor

My editing journey began in 2013 while I was a full-time clinical pharmacist. In 2021, I left my pharmacy career behind for full-time editing, and I haven't looked back! I offer line and copy editing services in romance, paranormal, fantasy, thriller, and other fiction genres. Many of my indie clients have made the USA Today and New York Times Bestsellers lists; some have even hit number one overall on Amazon.

I enjoy all levels of spice, offer competitive turnaround times, and can work within tight timelines. You can also expect prompt communication from me and a polished manuscript without changing your voice. My goal is to develop lasting relationships with my authors, and I have worked with many of my clients for five years or more. I offer two passes with author review after the first read. I use Word Track Changes to make the suggestions and provide a final review of any tracked changes after the second read. Some authors will use my second pass as a proofread, but I recommend at least two sets of eyes on any manuscript during the editing process. My preferred style guide is CMOS, and I use the Merriam-Webster dictionary (US). I include fact-checking and can help with medical scenarios.

I usually book several months out, but will sometimes have openings sooner. It doesn't hurt to ask!

Testimonials:

Since Jenny has been editing my books, they've really started to shine. I love that there are two rounds, so the book is as perfect as can be. The additional notes she provides are really a plus to avoid plot holes. She really pays close attention to small details that are often missed. I'd absolutely recommend Jenny for editing!

-New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Clarissa Wild (client since 2014)

Jenny has edited every one of my books. Not only does she provide a quality editing service, but she has an eye for detail that helps tremendously. She becomes acquainted with your characters and stories, invested in their journey, and it shows in the finished result. Look no further if you want someone to give your work the enthusiasm, respect, and care it deserves.
