Why should you contact Jessica to edit your work?
Jessica is completely non-judgemental
Everyone worries about the quality of their writing.
Jessica often works with people who are concerned their work is in 'a terrible
state'. In fact, people often admit to her that they've taken so long to do anything
with their writing simply because they were
afraid of being judged.
With a great sea of authors in the world, it's understandable that people worry
how they'll compare. From my own experience, it doesn't matter what state your writing
is in, Jessica can make any text ship-shape.

communication is key. Jessica ensures your requirements
