What clients are saying

“Writing a book is daunting enough. But it's everything after the first draft that scared me. Jacquelyn took the reins and made that part as seamless as possible. She is very easy to work with and saw things that added clarity and strength to my book. Each step of the way, the process was clearly laid out, timelines were met, and she was easy to connect with. Now, my book is launched, and it is such a great feeling, and Jacquelyn helped make it a reality. Without hesitation I recommend Jacquelyn for any project!‍”

“In an industry that is full of ambiguity, ambivalence, obscurity, vagueness, doublespeak and dubiety, Jacquelyn Austin is the exception. She gets it and gets it done on time. I’m a first-time author. She understood my neophyte situation and helped me benefit from her role. She understood, she delivered with no misunderstandings, and she kept to her outlined schedule. I can confidently recommend her to any writer requiring editing services.”

- Norbert Lemermeyer

“About a year ago, I was recommended to Jacquelyn Austin and in the intervening months we have worked together on several projects, large and small. My imprint publishes about half a dozen books a year, so keeping to deadlines is important.

Jacquelyn has always honored her commitment to deliver and has been very thorough and patient with historical and obtuse language. She is highly proficient and delivers excellent and timely results at a cost basis which we find amenable. I recommend Jacquelyn highly and we intend to utilize her on all book editing projects going forward.”

“I am a new author who took the leap last year and wrote a book. With Jacquelyn’s help, that book became more than I ever thought possible. She was thorough and timely, had great suggestions, but most importantly, she encouraged me and gave me the confidence to continue when things got tough. Her feedback was invaluable and she turned my initial draft into a polished and complete product. I'm so grateful for her editing services, and cannot recommend her enough!”

- Tara Hodgson

“I had the pleasure of having Jacquelyn edit my manuscript. As writers, we are incredibly self-conscious when it comes to critiquing our work. Jacquelyn reviewed my manuscript and gave positive feedback and a gentle critique. My goal was to self-publish on Amazon, but was a little intimidated. Jacquelyn was very thorough and encouraging. After her edit I was satisfied that I had a product I could proudly submit. We will be working together on other projects. I enthusiastically recommend her.”

- Dora McCaffrey

“As a first-time author, I was searching for an editor who could thoughtfully combine two volumes of poetry—written at different times and each with its own dedications, introductions, and front matter—into a single, seamless collection.

Fortunately, a friend recommended Jacquelyn, and from our very first phone conversation, we quickly reached a shared understanding. Jacquelyn was drawn to the project as an opportunity to deepen her experience editing poetry, and I immediately sensed I could trust her to preserve the passion and intensity underlying the work while skillfully abridging and refining it.

Jacquelyn is efficient, timely, and professional. She offered gentle, well-timed nudges for revision and, most importantly, showed great sensitivity to the inexperience and vulnerabilities of a first-time writer. She ultimately delivered a manuscript that I am now in the process of publishing on Amazon.To further ease the publishing process, she recommended a highly competent professional who is adept at navigating the technical requirements of both print and digital formats, including royalties. In every respect, Jacquelyn has been instrumental in bringing these poems to the reading public.

I would recommend Jacquelyn without reservation for any editing project you may have in mind. You won’t regret it.”

- Raja Panwar

"Jacquelyn worked on my 400,000-word family autobiography for five months and produced a spotless manuscript that I will use with pride when contacting any publishing company. Our dealings were efficient, friendly, and professional. Her involvement was essential in allowing me to send off any submissions with confidence and hope that editors will consider publishing a memoir which was five years in the making. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jacquelyn to any hopeful writer who needs their scribblings brought to professional standard."

- Chris Macdonald

"As someone new to writing and publishing, all the stress and concern I had about the process vanished when I met Jacquelyn. She has an approachable and kind personality, and handled my project with care and attention. While working together on my novel it was crucial for me to communicate often, and she was always available when I needed her. Jacquelyn does exactly what she says she’s going to do, and was often well ahead of our agreed deadlines. I look forward to working with her in the future, and what I’ve learned from her has made the whole process clearer for me moving forward."

- Bryce Gillis
