Books Jeni Edited
Jeni was undoubtedly a key player in my manuscript’s success. At first, I was nervous about paying someone without a “guarantee” of what the payoff would be—would I get my money’s worth? Having now worked with Jeni I can say without hesitation that my answer is YES. Jeni’s notes were intelligent and insightful, and I could tell that she really took her time with my manuscript. I was so blown away by the developmental edits we worked on that I later went back and worked with Jeni on a final proofread before querying. I can’t recommend Jeni enough!

I was so excited to connect with Jeni through the Revise & Resub contest on Twitter! Jeni’s feedback on my manuscript was terrific: timely, sensitive, and wise. She did a wonderful job of understanding my main character and seeing how I needed to develop that character more. Her developmental letter touched on the most important points for big-picture revision, while her line edits gave a clear sense of what specific parts of the manuscript needed work. I really enjoyed working with Jeni, and signed with my dream agent just a few months after completing the edits she suggested!

I started working with Jeni Chappelle as a raw newbie writer a year and a half ago. Since then I have published my first novel and completed three others. The most important thing for me, as a writer using a pseudonym, I could not rely on friends and family to help with reviews. I think the best testimonial you can find are the ratings I have on Amazon and Goodreads, all due to Jeni’s help coaching and editing my novels.

Jeni is a thorough editor who not only catches grammatical errors but plot inconsistencies as well. She did a wonderful job with Killer Wedding Cake, and I’ll be utilizing her services again soon!

I worked with Jeni on my first young adult fiction novel and was very happy with the outcome. Jeni was so professional in handling the project, very responsive and on-time. Her copy editing picked out all kinds of little mistakes or improvements, and her advice on the narrative was really helpful that I ended up making a couple of real changes. Also appreciated was her kindness with which she treated my first novel. I’d recommend her in a heart beat!

Working with Jeni has been an uplifting experience. She took on my first novel, as well as several smaller pieces, with professional grace, walking me through the steps necessary to make my work a polished product I am very proud of and my fans enjoy. The feedback is constructive and always completed in a timely manner. My family is on the road, so her online services are a must. But even if we could settle down, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Skilled editing can be the difference between a good book and a memorable one. Jeni has become an invaluable member of my team – can’t imagine working through the process of publishing without her. She’s great at pointing out just the right change I need to make in order for a scene to flow correctly. I’ve happily recommended her to several of my friends.
