I’m Jill French, an Advanced Professional Member of the CIEP, an experienced, supportive and thorough editor and coach who works with independent authors of fiction, creative nonfiction and memoir.
Jill is a phenomenal editor, very thorough, precise, and thoughtful in her approach. She genuinely cared about my story and how best to tell it in a way that’s most easily digestible and engaging for the reader. Jill also responded quickly to every inquiry and cared about doing the best job possible. I highly recommend her, she went above and beyond my expectations! Aiden Yang, The Spineless Porcupine: Why Our Differences Are Superpowers (2020)
