Testimonials
"I have been writing for well over ten years now. I first approached Jennifer to do an edit last year after I had rewritten my novel, Sleight of Spirit. She was very professional, using Microsoft Office to track changes so that I could accept or reject them for myself, as well as leaving notes on sections which needed re-wording. This was valuable not only to my manuscript but also for keeping my weaknesses in mind for the future. I was most impressed with Jennifer's macro-edits, which challenged me to think about my characterizations and helped me narrow my themes, contributing to a finished product that was far and away better than the manuscript."
- Kaitlin Nichols, "Valeria" and Pandora's Ring "If you’re looking for expert feedback and counsel when it comes to writing, look no further than Jennifer Castello. My experiences working with Jen were my first involving a professional analysis of my writing, and the entire process was completely worth it. Jen provided me with specific, thorough, and nuanced feedback that goes far beyond the typical “insert comma here” styles of editing. Her perspective and advice concerning my writing will not only help to make me a better writer, but also will certainly help to make me a more effective teacher of writing! I absolutely recommend soliciting Jennifer’s expertise as an editor and a writer. If what you’re seeking is valuable critique and an enlightening experience overall, you’ve come to the right place." -Evan Pennington, English teacher |
