Jean Femia Editing Services

Services & Fees

 

Jean picks up on what it is I'm trying to say and turns it into something clear and much more succinct.

M. St. John, engineer

 

Agents and publishers are quick to dismiss writing as amateur or unprofessional. That's why I always have Jean polish my work before submitting it, and I recommend her to anyone serious about selling their work.

D. Putnam, novelist

 

Jean's edits are well thought out and consistently good. She does an excellent job of editing for wordiness and unclear writing.

A. Wylan, technical documentation department manager
