Overview
Hello, and thanks for visiting my profile! I'm an author-focused copyeditor and proofreader, with experience in multiple genres. I've edited for some of the best authors in the business, and I'd love to work with you on your next manuscript!
I have more than seventeen years of copyediting and proofreading experience, for bestselling traditional and indie authors. I specialize in romance, women's fiction, and YA fiction, and I also have extensive experience in mystery, science fiction, historical fiction, and fantasy.
For a copyedit, I focus on details like spelling, grammar, punctuation, typos, dropped words, word choice, clarity, continuity, and adherence to the current edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. If your manuscript has already been copyedited, you a ready for a proofread! At the proofreading stage, I perform an eagle-eyed final check for any lingering typos/errors so that your manuscript is clean and ready to publish.
"I've worked with Jessica for the entire ten years of my publishing career, and she is without a doubt the best editor I've ever worked with. Her work is flawless, and her ability to catch inconsistencies and other issues is incredible, and the professional package she sends you with your edits and the character/place chart she creates is perfect. She is a priceless resource for any author wanting a manuscript turned into a perfect book." - USA Today Bestseller and Publisher Weekly Booklife Prize - Romance Category Winner, Lauren Smith
