Editor: the person able to understand and translate your words making you say ‘WOW!’ about your own work. Thank you, Jayne Marshall. By the way, this is me shooting myself in the foot because she’ll be too busy to work with me the next time I need her, but if you need an editor, she’s the one.

One day this year, after spending a long time writing, and an even longer time in my own head considering what I’d written, I reached an epiphany. That the only way for me to progress any further in my endeavors was to take on an editor. In search of a fresh perspective I reached out to Jayne. It was the best decision I ever made. Jayne is smart, intuitive, a real delight to work with. Her perceptive insights, comments, and suggestions have made a huge and positive difference to my writing. Because of her my novel feels incredibly improved upon. I don’t know how I got along without her. She is so good it feels like cheating to have her on board!

I write about deeply personal topics, so I was initially nervous about sending my work to be critiqued — but with Jayne Marshall, I needn’t have been. Jayne is a consummate professional: her feedback is astute, her edits elevate the structure and flow of my writing by leaps and bounds, and she does it all with a rare human touch. I’m delighted to have found her.

When I realised that I needed an editor for my memoir project before I thought about looking for an agent or a publisher, I contacted Jayne. This was a part of the writing process that I hadn’t previously put much thought into, although an absolute necessity. As writers, I think we can all be protective of our words, so handing them over for someone to cast a critical eye over feels like you’ve set it adrift. Jayne came back to me with her full edit and I was blown away – where I had been dreading the red pen, I found that she offered suggestions on how to improve it, make it stronger. Not only did she tighten up the prose, but she suggested links and threads that I hadn’t been able to see, having being too close to it for so long. I had been nervous of having to go back and make changes, but Jayne breathed a new life into it the manuscript, gave me a renewed excitement for the project as a whole, and I found myself agreeing with every point she made. She is someone whose opinion and feedback I would trust implicitly, and have already recommended her to other writers.

As a new author, I was apprehensive about bringing my book to market. Jayne took the time to understand my goals and felt like a partner throughout the process. She went above and beyond, helping me in every way. Jayne worked within my budget and exceeded my highest expectations in her editorial suggestions. She returned her comments well before I needed them to hit my publication date and made herself available for follow up questions and clarifications. I will absolutely be having Jayne Marshall edit my future work and highly recommend that you do as well.

Where shall I begin with accolades for Jayne Marshall? She edited my children’s chapter book with sensitivity, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity. The changes and additions made in the manuscript, elicited by her astute comments, would not have occurred without her help. The end result was a polished story with much more depth and scope. Jayne is a delight to work with. She is gentle, efficient, patient, and prompt in all correspondence. One could not choose a better editor with whom to work.
