Jerri's editing services...

Along with writing my own work, I love working with authors to help them make their writing the best it can be. I'm very pleased to offer editing and proofreading services.

My qualifications... As a freelance editor, I’ve worked for such entities as Tekno Books (Five Star Publishing), critiquing manuscripts submitted for publishing consideration, then collaborating with the talented writers who’ve received contracts: suggesting revisions, editing, and proofing to help them make the work sing! I also copyedit - yes, all the nit-picky stuff - for Harlequin.

As a former instructor for Long Ridge Writers Group in Connecticut, I was able to hone my writing skills and enhance the education I received as a University of Kansas William Allen White School of Journalism graduate (summa cum laude) by helping students raise the bar on their own creative writing.

I’m an author of five novels, published by New American Library, a division of Penguin Putnam, and have years of corporate management experience which included copywriting for advertising, catalogs, and customer materials, writing reports, presentations, and such documents as training and human resource handbooks.
