I bring a perspective informed by my experiences as a mixed Latina from The Bronx who has wrestled with (and continues to educate myself on) issues such as whiteness, racism, assimilation, colonization, and indigeneity.
What kind of editing are you ready for?
There are so many stages to the editing process, it can be confusing to know what you need. A Discovery Call will help you determine the stage of your project and what kind of editing will help you the most.
Are you sorting through your ideas?
The Developmental Editing process is about sorting through all the ideas you’ve thrown into your notes, your articles and blog posts, or even your draft, and turning them into something that feels like a single well-thought-out book.
Developmental editing is the best way to assure that your book will flow and make sense, and that your readers will be engaged.
Have you finished a manuscript?
When your manuscript feels finished and you want an objective and informed opinion, a Manuscript Review will give you a big picture overview of what’s working, what’s not working, and what needs to change.
When your manuscript is finished, a Substantive/Copy Edit will assure your syntax is clear, distinguish between colons, semi-colons, and commas, and assure consistency of names, capitalizations, and hyphens.
I provide both.
An immensely gifted and skilled reader, Jesi not only gets the story I’m trying to tell, but also knows the questions to ask that will have me tell it better. She’s got an enormous frame of reference and can pull inspirations and ideas from seemingly innumerable sources to provide suggestions and guidance for going forward. I love working with her because she’s passionate about supporting writers to do their best work, and is nurturing while also holding me to a higher standard. You cannot find a better ally for your work, and your growth as a writer
