Editor Jennifer: July 2010

Satisfied Customers

Writing my first paranormal romance novel was a walk in the park…until it came time to pull together the synopsis.I’d never attempted one before and had no idea where to begin. How in the world do you explain a 65,000-word plot in six measly pages? The very thought was overwhelming.

After several false starts I had two choices: give up or ask for help. I decided to take a chance and turned to Editor Jennifer.

From the beginning I knew I’d made the right decision. Jennifer broke everything down into easy-to-understand phases, laying out exactly what needed to happen, then offering ideas and suggestions to help me accomplish my goal. With a little pushing and a lot of cheerleading, she took my ideas and helped shape them into a clear, cogent final product.

She understands the romance industry (including e-publishing) *extremely* well and not only guided me through the completion of my synopsis, but also made suggestions for the hook in my submission letter, giving me loads of encouragement to keep moving forward at a time when I really needed the extra push. The turn around time for all of this was fast, and the cost was very reasonable.

An editor’s job is to take what’s already been written and make it better. A good editor doesn’t try to change the author’s voice; he/she just helps hone that voice. That’s exactly what Jennifer did. Everything I’ve learned from her will help make writing my next novel (and marketing it) infinitely less painful. I cannot recommend her enough.

I loved the detailed and time-consuming edit Jennifer Fedderson did for my novel, Fire on the Water, available Spring 2010 from Phaze Books. I believe that her professional feedback and comprehensive review have strengthened my voice, style and overall marketability. I look forward to working with Jennifer again on more projects. And I will absolutely recommend her editing services to anyone who wants to take their writing to the next level.

Jennifer Feddersen is the best editor an author could have. After years of trying critique groups and beta readers, I found I needed the editorial assistance from someone in the business who could teach me how to turn my manuscript into something that could actually be marketable while remaining true to my vision. She has a knack for understanding your goals, teaching you how to flush them out professionally and guiding you towards a finished product you can take to agents and publishers.

"Jennifer Feddersen has an eye for detail that didn't just improve my novel, but my writing. Feddersen pointed out the problems with my novel along with how to fix and spot them on my own. She also picked up on issues dealing with the depth of my characters. Her report was professional and honest. She gave me the type of feedback that is priceless in the publishing industry. I will definitely use her again."
