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
“Writing a book is daunting enough. But it's everything after the first draft that scared me. Jacquelyn took the reins and made that part as seamless as possible. She is very easy to work with and saw things that added clarity and strength to my book. Each step of the way, the process was clearly laid out, timelines were met, and she was easy to connect with. Now, my book is launched, and it is such a great feeling, and Jacquelyn helped make it a reality. Without hesitation I recommend Jacquelyn for any project!‍”

“In an industry that is full of ambiguity, ambivalence, obscurity, vagueness, doublespeak and dubiety, Jacquelyn Austin is the exception. She gets it and gets it done on time. I’m a first-time author. She understood my neophyte situation and helped me benefit from her role. She understood, she delivered with no misunderstandings, and she kept to her outlined schedule. I can confidently recommend her to any writer requiring editing services.”

- Norbert Lemermeyer
“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
