What Authors Say

What do you do if you struggle to read and write but you''ve always wanted to write a story? What do you do if you have a million crazy ideas but can''t seem to express them in a way others can understand? The answer is: seek the help and advice of expert editor, Jessica Coleman. As her initials ''JC'' suggest, she actually can perform miracles – that is, with text. She has a professional yet friendly approach and is willing to work with you every step of the way, so if you don''t know what you''re doing you can rest assured that at least someone does, and who better than Jessica? Jessica has helped me turn my puzzle adventure story into something I can be proud of. This service works well for those who want to be published but even more so for those who want to be confident in their work, and I have Jessica to thank for that. I guess what I''m trying to say is that with Jessica''s help, my book – my puzzle adventure – is solved!

I sent Jessica an 80 page document in my own words which I and most others considered a complete jumble in just about every possible way, it really did need an expert to sort it out. She returned to me a perfect document which was clear and precise. I am most grateful.

Jessica helped me in the editing process of my first children''s story book. I found Jessica''s service to be fairly priced, prompt, and most of all her enthusiasm and passionate attitude to the craft of writing shines through when assisting on a project. I look forward to working with Jessica in the future.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jess on three of my books, and I can confidently say that she is the only editor I will trust with my writing. Jess has edited two of my children’s stories as well as one book aimed at older readers, and her professionalism, communication, and expertise have been consistently exceptional throughout every project. From the very first edit, Jess impressed me with her ability to take my somewhat rough manuscripts and turn them into polished, publishable stories. She always keeps me up to date during the editing process, communicating regularly and clearly about her progress. I never have to wonder where things stand or what the next step will be—Jess is always on top of it. My first book, Out of Time, was transformed by Jess’s skilful editing. What started as a ‘goodish’ story became an award-winning, critically acclaimed book, thanks to her keen editorial eye. Jess’s insights and suggestions elevated the story far beyond what I had originally imagined. I have no doubt her expertise was a key factor in the book’s critical success. She also edited my second book, The End, a science fiction novel aimed at older readers. Although this book is set to be published in August 2025, it has already garnered positive feedback, and I know Jess’s meticulous attention to detail played a huge role in that. Most recently, Jess completed a full developmental edit on my latest children’s story, Amelia Wainwright and the Chimera Project, and once again, she delivered work of the highest standard. I cannot recommend Jess highly enough. Her professionalism, talent, and dedication are second to none, and I will continue to rely on her for all my future projects.

Coleman Editing has always been my go-to editor for all of my writing projects. My experience working with them on four children''s stories has been an incredible learning process for me, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I would recommend their expertise to anyone.

I have to say, what Jessica has done is amazing. So incredibly pleased would be an understatement. I feel like I struck gold. She has quite simply taken my book to the next level. She has dovetailed and seamlessly matched the essence of my writing and what she has achieved is nothing short of brilliant. I feel I am so very lucky to have found her and proud that she is such an integral key part of the first two books – as I hope she will be on all the others I have written and will be writing.

When I started searching for some help with my writing, my original research brought up over forty individuals and organisations. Somehow, eventually, my intuition pointed me in the direction of Jessica Grace Coleman. This was a very, very, important decision for me to make, as a person into the later years, attempting to write my very first novel. I was constantly putting off even writing the opening lines, but still continuing to make notes on pads, scraps of paper and, of course, on the backs of envelopes, etc. Lacking in confidence, I was desperate for someone to accept me as possibly being worthy of their attention. I contacted Jessica and we reached an agreement on her taking on the role of in-depth editing for me as I actually wrote the book, chapter by chapter. I knew, almost within minutes of starting to read the very first edited chapters Jessica returned to me, that I had definitely chosen the right person. I became so relaxed and confident with her approach and ability that I accepted all the changes she had made immediately. If you want to make sure you choose the right person – a reliable person who will not only empathise and assist you in achieving your goal but will also enhance and expand your work with the lightest of emotive touches – I highly recommend the services of Jessica Grace Coleman.

I could not have found a better editing service for my work… clear and thorough, and with an understanding of the content and a comprehensive and sympathetic eye to detail in the editing. My book now has a fine polish to it, and I feel is ready to hand on to the publishing world. Thank you Jessica.

It has been a pleasure since day one to work with Jessica Grace Coleman. Jess was always on time—something I personally appreciated. She was also understanding and easy to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to fellow authors who require some professional assistance, whether it be help writing their novel, or proofreading their manuscript.

Jessica’s ability to proofread and edit a manuscript in a timely, cost-effective and professional manner is superior to most other editors I have used. Her timeliness, adherence to deadlines, communication and punctuality surpassed my expectations.

I recently sent the first part of my novel for proofreading. I would like to express my satisfaction for a very professional service. The response was very prompt and feedback/comments for improvement were excellent. I will definitely be using Coleman Editing services again in the future.

I’m so grateful and very happy with Jessica’s work. She is confident, talented and honest in her editing and I enjoyed working alongside her.

I am 71 years of age and have been writing for twenty five years. I have entered hundreds of competitions with stories, poetry, and children’s stuff and wasn’t getting anywhere with my work until I approached Jessica Grace Coleman to proofread my material and now I have received certificates, been short listed in competitions and have been selected as one of the top twenty women poets of 2014. It’s all down to Jessica – thank goodness I found her. I am now looking for an agent to get much of my work published and to sell and hope that some of the proceeds will go to charity if I’m successful in my ambition. There is nothing out there that’s better than a great proofreader, in our busy quest of writing we often overlook silly mistakes and someone like Jessica will intercept and sort these things out.
