I’m Jill French, an Advanced Professional Member of the CIEP, an experienced, supportive and thorough editor and coach who works with publishers and independent authors of fiction, creative nonfiction and memoir.
I’ve been working with Jill for a couple of years now, and she is always very accommodating when it comes to timing and delivery. I value her honest, straightforward approach and she has always delivered my edits ahead of schedule. A comprehensive and professional service that I trust to get my books into shape. Always a pleasure dealing with Jill and I highly recommend her services.
