Meet the Editor:

The following video is of an interview between Jessica and one of her wonderful authors.

JMR Literary Services

Personalized. Friendly. Affordable.

Having grown up with my nose firmly planted in books, I know what goes into a good story and how to make readers invest themselves into the literary world you have created—or have yet to create. With an educational background in English, multiple editing-specific certificates, several successful novels under my belt, and as the Associate Editor of WayWords, a literary journal, I always seek the next challenge, the next story, the next tale to tell.

I pride myself on constructive and prompt communication with my clients; you'll never send me an inquiry or manuscript without receiving an immediate acknowledgement in return. Our works-in-progress are like our children, you should feel safe and secure whenever you send them anywhere and always know that they arrived where they were meant to go. I offer confidentiality contracts to ensure that when I ghostwrite a novel for you, YOU are given full authorial credit. It's your story, whether you have written it or not.

Paying for editing or ghostwriting services can be dauntingly expensive, with some ghostwriters charging up to $3 a page—which can mean a fee of over $60,000 for a single novel! Becoming a published (or self-published) author should not put you in the poor house, nor will it, if you work with me.

Testimonials

Jessica was ultimately the editor I picked out over over 100 freelancers. If there was such a thing as a "dark horse" it was JMR. Other editors had more experience and more extensive resumes. She really shined in her responses to my questions though, and the speed with which she answered them. Still, early on I was leaning toward some of the others on this list for a variety of reasons. What set Jessica apart is her willingness to engage and work with me. Jessica was keen to make this a collaborative effort. I felt like I could learn and grow working with her. That through her editing I could personally become a better writer. When I picked JMR I had a set of expectations. She exceeded them all. The amount of work she put into my manuscript was amazing. I would say I agreed with 95% of her edits and there were many times she saw things that made parts of the story infinitely better. Jessica went above and beyond in many ways. Her attention to detail meant that she caught inconsistencies with my story as well as grammatical issues. She offered strong suggestions for word choice, re-arranged paragraphs in places for more impact, and so much more. She fixed things that were obviously wrong, and convinced me to change things I thought were OK for the better. I feel confident in releasing Rise to the rest of the world because of her diligence. I cannot recommend her enough.
