Meet Your Editor

Welcome to my website! A little about me, I’m Jessica, a passionate freelance book editor dedicated to helping authors bring their stories to life with clarity, consistency, and style. I specialize in refining manuscripts, so that each writer’s unique voice shines through. I am a mom of 5 and a Grammie to one. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a focus in Accounting and actively looking to getting my masters in English to help my authors. My dream is to build my business to work from home to help new, indie authors like you. I want to pursue this because my love for storytelling and language drives everything I do when reading manuscripts. I believe great editing isn’t just about correcting grammar, it’s about strengthening structure, deepening character arcs, and ensuring every sentence serves the heart of the story. Whether you’re polishing your first novel or preparing a book for publication, I’m here to be your partner in the creative process. I want to help you become what you envision as well as making my own dream a reality of becoming a freelance editor. Please feel free to email with any questions you may have regarding editing. I am open to helping with payment plans as much as I can. I cannot wait to hear from you and work with you on your masterpiece!

Shelby Young- Author of Triangle of Terror
