“Not only does Jessica have a keen eye for grammar details, but she easily recognizes contextual gaps. She makes fantastic suggestions to improve the pacing of the story and development of characters. She mades the editing/revising process quite enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone.” — Sabra Waldfogel, Author of LET ME FLY
“Dear Jessica,
Thank you. Your letter is brilliant... incredible. I‘m speechless - you‘ve provided everything I hoped for, and much, much more. You found such a charming way to break the news to me of the novel’s failings. Chapeau! You‘re amazing.
Keen observations, fresh insights, practicable suggestions — these will make my revision voyage that much more structured and delightful. ... Your step-by-step method suits me perfectly. (But you knew that, right?)
As Robert Deniro famously said, “You’re good, you.”
Thank you, Jessica: you saved HERE. I. AM. and rekindled my love for it. ”
