Hi there!
I'm Jessica.
I'm only on LinkedIn. Why? Ask me about my Social Media Lite approach to business.
I’m a word wrangler. A grammar guru. A sentence savant.
I specialize in nonfiction books, primarily within the genres of education, leadership, and self-help. With nearly 20 years of editing and writing experience and 17 books edited in the last two years alone, I help authors and publishers transform a pen-on-napkin idea into a bestseller.
I live in Northern Colorado with my best friend/husband, a neurotic Corgi, and a disapproving feline. I’m obsessed with craft cocktails, “unlovable” critters, and adding more books to my Goodreads list than I’ll ever be able to finish.
What My Clients Say
Jessica assisted me through my first experience with self-publishing, and I would have been lost without her guidance and expertise at every turn. Although she is effective at delivering on tangible goals and objectives, it's the genuine care for her customers' success that makes her approach so unique. Work with this gal! You will not be disappointed.

Services Offered
1
Ghostwriting
Ghostwriting gathers material from interviews, articles, podcasts, and other media and transforms it into a book manuscript. The author remains the creator and owner of the material, so this service is ideal for busy professionals who want a book in their name without having to write it.
3
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing reviews a manuscript at a high level, shaping the writing into a coherent, logical flow. This type of editing encompasses the entire document and addresses organization, style and tone, effectiveness of messaging, audience/genre fit, and more. It’s the big-picture category of editing.
4
Copyediting
At its most basic, copyediting addresses grammar, punctuation, spelling, word choice/usage, and other mid-level writing concerns. More in-depth copyediting fixes errors in mechanics, sentence structure, citations/references, and facts/claims, and creates a style sheet that guides consistency for other iterations of the manuscript.
