“Jennifer is a skilled editor: she ably provided story and content guidance while maintaining a keen eye for detail. Her review of my manuscript was exceptionally helpful.”
- Sarina Prabasi
This incredible political memoir, written by a CEO, mom, and activist, spans Nepal, Ethiopia, and New York City, exploring coffeehouses as sites of community action and political change, through Sarina’s own story.
"Jennifer has a knack for seeing the forest instead of the trees. She is a thoughtful editor who has helped me identify strong throughlines in my book in order to sharpen characters and focus. With her training in history and education, she is a highly intelligent and knowledgeable reader attuned to complexity. I strongly recommend Jennifer for her sharp eye and sensitive edits."
Aurvi Sharma Publishing Associate at Guernica, winner of the 2017 NYSCA/NYFA Artists Fellowship in Nonfiction Literature, notable essays in Best American Essays, 2016 and 2017.*
“Among talented editors, Jen is a unicorn. Zeroing in on the challenges my manuscript faced that I myself could not fully see or articulate came easy to her. She considers editing a project she loves as a huge privilege and treated my book like it was sacred. Her insight, dedication and warmth make her the ideal collaborator. My work always improves when she’s involved."
Athos Cakiades Actor, writer, and comedian, author of forthcoming memoir, Exconomy.
“Jennifer has been a trusted reader and editor of mine for years. She has an uncanny ability to read a piece and immediately get a ‘big picture’ understanding of the project and how it can be improved. She also has a laser-like eye for close editing. Her feedback is always honest, but very helpful. She wants to help you get where you’re going.”
