“Being a speculative fiction author herself, Jodi knows what makes for a good spec-fic story and how various fantastical elements a writer may choose to call upon can best be employed. She will spend considerable time getting to know a writer, their stories, and their characters. By endeavoring to understand where a writer comes from and what vision they have for their work, Jodi asks all the questions necessary to offer actionable suggestions—suggestions sure to fortify a writer’s confidence, emboldening them to undertake all the revisions needed to fully engage the writer’s intended audience. How do I know? Because that’s exactly what Jodi did for me!”
~ Mark J. Engels, Author of THE FOREST EXILES SAGA

“Jodi’s story overview was so beneficial in helping me see my plot in a birds-eye view. It gave me a really good idea of what parts of the book needed work, clarification, and strengthening without overwhelming me in the minutiae of the tiny details. If you’re looking for someone who will leave no emotional stone unturned, then Jodi is the editor for you. She will dive deep into the interiority of each of your characters, giving you lots of places to mine for depth.”
~ Jessie Heninger

“After agonizing over my query letter for weeks, Jodi’s feedback helped me fix all of my issues in a matter of minutes. She took into context my synopsis and was able to provide very specific feedback for the query, and it was game changing. Now I have a solid query letter and a banger synopsis. Where before I approached the query trenches with trepidation, now I’m moving forward with confidence thanks to Jodi’s simultaneously insightful and encouraging feedback!”

“Jodi is a Godsend! Thanks to a mentorship competition, she became my mentor when I was working on my first young adult manuscript, which ended up getting me an agent. She has also been a guiding force in the story development of my middle grade manuscript. Jodi is patient, kind, and honest, and she has a way of asking the right questions to get the most creativity out of you when it comes to growing an idea into a full story concept. I highly recommend taking advantage of her editorial services.”
~ Marti Parham
