Finding errors in your own writing is tough.‍

‍Even book editors benefit from hiring an editor before they publish their writing. After looking at the same words on the page for weeks or months, we all become blind to our own mistakes, big or small.

Whether it’s a blog article, social media post, or your first novel, hiring an editor is an important step forward (and could be the difference between getting published or not).

What clients are saying
“About a year ago, I was recommended to Jacquelyn Austin and in the intervening months we have worked together on several projects, large and small. My imprint publishes about half a dozen books a year, so keeping to deadlines is important.

Jacquelyn has always honored her commitment to deliver and has been very thorough and patient with historical and obtuse language. She is highly proficient and delivers excellent and timely results at a cost basis which we find amenable. I recommend Jacquelyn highly and we intend to utilize her on all book editing projects going forward.”

“I am a new author who took the leap last year and wrote a book. With Jacquelyn’s help, that book became more than I ever thought possible. She was thorough and timely, had great suggestions, but most importantly, she encouraged me and gave me the confidence to continue when things got tough. Her feedback was invaluable and she turned my initial draft into a polished and complete product. I'm so grateful for her editing services, and cannot recommend her enough!”

- Tara Hodgson
“I had the pleasure of having Jacquelyn edit my manuscript. As writers, we are incredibly self-conscious when it comes to critiquing our work. Jacquelyn reviewed my manuscript and gave positive feedback and a gentle critique. My goal was to self-publish on Amazon, but was a little intimidated. Jacquelyn was very thorough and encouraging. After her edit I was satisfied that I had a product I could proudly submit. We will be working together on other projects. I enthusiastically recommend her.”

- Dora McCaffrey
"Jacquelyn worked on my 400,000-word family autobiography for five months and produced a spotless manuscript that I will use with pride when contacting any publishing company. Our dealings were efficient, friendly, and professional. Her involvement was essential in allowing me to send off any submissions with confidence and hope that editors will consider publishing a memoir which was five years in the making. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jacquelyn to any hopeful writer who needs their scribblings brought to professional standard."  

- Chris Macdonald
“Jacquelyn was wonderful to work with on my novel, and she guided me through the editing process with reliable communication. Her edits were thorough and comprehensive, with clear explanations behind them.”‍
