Jill’s professional skills as a copyeditor are excellent. I am approaching the publication of my latest murder mystery novel with renewed confidence that the edited manuscript is as good as it can be. Clear communications. Prompt turnaround service. Great value. J Terry, Sudden Death at Bogey Bay (2023)
I was impressed with Jill’s professionalism and communication. She completed the copyedit early and the work was perfect. Jill gave me options for changes. I would hire Jill for my next project and give her a 5 star reference. DJ Cashbar, Back Focus (Forthcoming 2023)
Jill produced the agreed result on time and on budget. She went beyond the strict limits of the brief to make some suggestions that would improve the layout of the text and made no secret of the fact that she had enjoyed reading the book. What more could I possibly ask of a proofreader? I have every expectation that I shall be working with Jill again. Michael Forester, Forest Pathways (2023)
Jill did a great job on our book. Besides numerous errors that we overlooked (despite three separate reviews of our own), she offered several good suggestions for improving our manuscript. She also provided explanations of her recommended changes.
Jill was prompt in her communications, and completed her work right on time. We would certainly recommend Jill as an editor, and we plan to use her on our next book. Herb and LindaSue Hemenway, The Stonehenge Murders (2023)
I had a fantastic experience hiring Jill to copyedit my novelette. She used the suggested CIEP rates, so I knew I wasn’t being overcharged, and her edits were spot on. In addition, Jill provided a style sheet as well as two versions of my manuscript – one with all tracking and comments, and one with all tracking accepted that still had comments. And best of all, Jill came in a week ahead of schedule, which made a huge difference in getting the novelette into the anthology it was intended for. I won’t hesitate to use Jill in the future, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. Stuart Wakefield, Out in the Cold, (2023)
Jill did an excellent job. Not only did she do the requested proofreading, but she also gave me some helpful copyediting tips and checked and smoothed out the local language in places. And all that within two weeks. I’m very satisfied and happy with the result. My book has already been published. Stephanie Ahlen, Windward Side (2022)
I’ve published before, but this is my first time using a copyeditor. I’m hooked! My manuscript is a thousand times better thanks to Jill. I appreciate her help and patience with a newbie. I would love to work with her again. Beth Savoie, Death Illuminated, (2022)
I am completely delighted with Jill’s work; she was communicative, responsive, and her talent was much appreciated. I am very happy with her clear, concise, and annotated edits, which complimented the work of the individual authors for a clean, polished, professional book. Ashley Santana ed., Published: A Craft Guide, [Kelp Books] (2022)

I was really pleased to come across Jill French … thank goodness and she was brilliant, fantastic.
