“I found Jac-Ann Marie at the tail end of my second draft for Hollow’s Ash. At that point I was almost at a standstill, needing to make edits, but not able to pinpoint exactly what to edit. To say, I was struggling to move forward, would be an understatement. After a lengthy conversation with Jac-Ann, she agreed to do a sample edit for me so I could determine if we were a good fit to work together. And oh boy, when I tell you it was thorough with a capital T, believe it. I was so impressed with how in depth just her sample edit was. She touched on so many different aspects of editing for me, giving me feedback on sentence structure, plot points, character development, suggestions on deepening tension, and improvements to my magic system. It was insane how in depth my sample was. I of course had to hire her immediately.
The turnaround for my full developmental edit was about a month, which was perfect. Of course, I stalked her comments on my manuscript as she edited. Which was a lot of fun being able to clock her reactions and commentary about different scenes, but also allowing me to see patterns as she edited on areas of improvement I needed. I was so excited when she sent my editorial letter. The structure and breakdown of her letter has really allowed me to hone in on specific scenes I need to work on. She covered everything from tropes to individual chapter breakdowns, and even included some of her favorite lines. Along with suggestions on character and world development. She has been so amazing through my developmental edit, and I will be hiring her for future projects. I can not recommend her services enough.”
