Testimonials

“Very satisfied. Jess took our previous business plan and turned it into a concise and essential document for our business. Highly recommend her services”. James Fredrick, C.L. Financial


“Jessica is the most organized person I have ever worked with in the virtual and non-virtual sectors. She came into a role that was quite literally a mess, and turned it around in a matter of days. She is quick on her feet and has no problem making decisions on her own. She requires little supervision…just point her in the right direction and let her go. You can then rest assured that it will be taken care of. She takes control of assigned projects and drives them through to completion. She accesses tough situations with professionalism and grace. She is a complete joy to work with and she certainly makes my life easier. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Jessica on their team is sure to know exactly what a gold mine they have hit. She will take your organization to the next level. No need to worry about things falling through the cracks, because Jessica is there to pick up the pieces”.

“Jessica is a life-saver! In a matter of days she brought about complete organization to a huge project involving dozens of people, and is wonderful to work with. Her project management and organizational skills are phenomenal. ” Purna/Elance


Jess is our Project Manager and also takes care of our clients through calendar and email communication. She keeps me and my business running at top notch efficiency. She is the most organized and dedicated individual we have ever worked with.  Thank you Jess!  Lynn Lucas ~Jerome Enterprise Inc.


“I have found Jess to be extremely prompt, professional, and precise. Engaging her services, I felt as if I had treated my writing to a spa-day when it was returned to me smiling, glowing, waxed, exfoliated, and fully rejuvenated. My preference would be to have Jess on an exclusive retainer. Short of that, I highly recommend her.” – Collin Tobin, Author


“Jess is probably the most down-to-earth editor one can find in today’s literary world. She has not only helped me enhance the manuscript of my novel, <em>Legal Thermopylae</em> and turned it into a polished project, but her outstanding editing skills have also brought out the best in me as a writer. I found her feedback very valuable in spotting many errors that were left unnoticed even after numerous revisions. I feel more confident now submitting my manuscript to publishers. Jess is very friendly to work with and I find her editing skills more in line with the author’s thoughts rather than it being a mere mechanical editing. Her work is timely, insightful, and is capable of adding value to any literary work. I look forward to sending her my next project, and I definitely recommend Jess to others writers.”―Renu Singh, Author of “Legal Thermopylae”


Jess, I wanted to thank you for the professional edit you did on my manuscript. You made the entire process smooth and simple, from start to finish. With your help, my dream has become a reality and I now have my first novel, Bestia, published. I would highly recommend your editing service to any author looking to have their manuscript professionally edited. I’ve started my second novel and I look forward to working with you again. ~Alexander Eckley, Author of “Bestia””http://www.alexandereckley.com/”www.AlexanderEckley.com

“Jessica helped me build a staff of writers and editors for SDA Network News, an online publication devoted to reporting news and features about important people and events connected with Africa. Jess has been an absolute delight to work with, suggesting people to cover and stories to pursue. The thing I like most about her is that she’s a good listener. I also like that she’s a doer, as opposed to someone who simply talks big and does nothing. She gets things done.” -Earl Smith, Senior Editor, SDA Network News

“Jess is a truly gifted professional writer and editor. Her refreshing down-to-earth style is delightful, and her credentials, knowledge and experience combine to totally set her apart from her competition. I unreservedly recommend working with Jess, and having her “defend your written words.” You’ll not only be completely glad that you did, but you’ll wonder how you ever managed before without Jess in your corner.” -AbundantWords.biz
