    I've been at this writing game for a long, long time--over 40 years, to be exact. I've won national writing contests, published books with small presses, been the "go-to" editor for fast-turnaround "quick books" at a major publisher, and, of course, helped dozens of individual writers to become better authors. I'm the pickiest of the picky, a crackerjack speller, and The Grammarian About Whom Your Mother Warned You. I also wear a second hat: I've been a performing musician for most of my life--singing, primarily. I have a Bachelor of Music degree, have played the piano since I was 8, and am still involved in musicmaking today. My major was theory, but my first love Is voice, and I am continually fascinated by music history. What a combo, huh? 😁 So...if you want the best TLC your book can get--especially if music is also a part of your life as well--you truly can't do any better. The (Singing) Book Magician is here!

    I believe the role of an editor is to help writers express themselves as clearly and eloquently as possible. This calls for honesty, sensitivity, excellent communication, a collaborative mindset, and an obsessive attention to detail, all traits I strive to embody every day. Hopefully, my job success score and positive reviews will tell you how my past & current clients have felt about their experience with me. Many have even included me in their Acknowledgments, which is always deeply gratifying. As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life, and for me this holds true in editing as well. I love learning new things from the wide range of material on which I work. I'm happy to edit most types of content, and am always looking to forge long-term relationships, though my primary focus is manuscripts. I have years of experience with the following: *Fiction (most sub-genres, and every length, from short stories to novellas to full-length novels, including epic fantasies): adult, YA, middle grade *Non-fiction: memoir, historical, self-help/personal development, marketing collateral, white papers, consultant reports, etc. I'm passionate about what I do, and consider it a privilege to help writers bring their vision to life. You can trust that I'll be as invested as you are in the quality of your final draft. Reach out to me and let's get started! I look forward to working with you.

    [UPDATE, JUNE 2025: I'm pleased and humbled to be going through a period this year of much higher demand for my services, but unfortunately that means that authors have already booked every minute of working time I have between now and this coming October 1st. If you have a project coming up later this fall, I encourage you to still drop me a line; but otherwise I'm afraid I can accommodate no more new work this summer or early fall.] From 2007 to 2017 I was the owner of the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography, which published 40 books for total distribution of over 20,000 copies. Along the way, CCLaP's books won or were finalists for a half-dozen awards, including the Pushcart Prize, the Lambda Award for LGBTQ literature, and the Independent Publisher Book Award; and the center itself was named one of the 10 best indie presses in the United States by both BookRiot.com and Poets & Writers magazine. Now I bring that same award-winning deep editing experience to your own self-published or small-press manuscript, helping you hone it with a fine knife into the best book it can possibly be. I specialize in "developmental" editing (also known as "content editing"), taking a big-picture look at your manuscript and identifying strengths and weaknesses in plot, character, pacing, style and tone, and giving you no-bones advice about how "publishable" it currently is. I also regularly do copy editing (also known as "line editing"), focusing in on a word-by-word basis to correct mistakes in what my industry calls GUPS (grammar, usage, punctuation and spelling). Other services include simple "post-production proofreading" for typos and missing punctuation; complete rewriting of entire sections of text for better clarity; specialized academic work using the Chicago Manual of Style, APA and Bluebook; and short documents like memos, web articles, website copy and promotional material for enterprise and other corporate clients. I believe in being transparent and consistent with my fees, so here are my rates in advance: Simple proofreading for typos: 0.7 cents per word Developmental editing: 1.4 cents per word Copy editing: 1.4 cents per word Developmental + copy edit: 2.4 cents per word Copy edit + extensive rewriting: 2.4 cents per word Complete Editing Package (everything above): 3 cents per word Doctoral dissertations: 4 cents per word Journalism: 5 cents per word Enterprise clients: 7 cents per word All of these rates are also open for discussion and best offers, so just drop me a line if you'd like to discuss the subject more. See my portfolio section at the bottom of the page for a broad selection of testimonials from authors I've worked with as a freelancer, links to some of the books CCLaP still has for sale at Amazon, and praise my books have garnered over the years from such publications as Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, the Chicago Tribune, HTMLGIANT, and more. I'm happy to say that I've had a top-rated designation here at Upwork (given to the top 10 percent of all freelancers based on client satisfaction scores) since January 2021 without a break, and have consistently maintained a job success score between 95% and 100% that entire time too. I look forward to hearing from you. *Proud member of the American Copy Editors Society* *Proud member of the Romance Writers of America* *Certification, Academic Copy Editing, Poynter Institute for Media Studies* ANTI-AI PLEDGE: I promise that all work I complete for clients has been, and will always be, accomplished using only my human brain and ten human fingers, never using AI bots, Grammarly, or other software options. I encourage you to demand this promise from all the freelancer candidates you interview and work with!

She made the editing process a beautiful experience which caused me to push my limits and wholly put this book in His hands. She was my midwife to my labor in the moments I just didn't want to push anymore. Looking now at the final product, I know Jen was assigned by God and this baby could not be more beautiful. I am so excited to share with the world what Gorgeous Inside is all about." —Paloma Freeman, author of Gorgeous Inside "Jen Miller did the editing of my book, From Disgrace to Grace. She was very attentive and listened carefully to my heart on the book and its significance of it. She understood how near and dear to my heart this book is. In the sentences or paragraphs that didn't bring out the depth of what I was saying, Jen literally pulled it out of me by getting me to focus on the feelings of the characters. I can't say enough about how she brought to life the people, situations, and pain they went through. It was as though she was telling her own story. She comes highly recommended and I hope that one day we will get to work together again." —Donna Ross, author of From Disgrace to Grace "WOW! Jen, you have taken my manuscript and brought it to life. It's amazing how one can catch the vision and move it forward. You are anointed in what you do and I look forward to working with you again. Thank you!" —Sharon Patterson, author of Confessions of a Daddy’s Girl "Jen, you were a joy to work with. Your sweet spirit made me feel at ease and I cannot wait to work with you in future projects. Thank you so much for putting in your time and creative skills to work on this book. I will recommend you guys to everyone I meet because I am trusting that the same way you treated me . . . they will get the same experience. Thank you again." —Betty Martin, author, of How to Stay Free "Jen, I love and agree with everything you said in your critique. I very much appreciate your wisdom and insight." —Scott Reynolds, author of Journey Deeper "Thank you for all your excellent work. Our publication is enhanced by all your conscientious editing." —Gideon Fujiwara, magazine publisher "My heartfelt thanks to Jen for her excellent work editing our magazine. I am impressed by her extensive work to improve drafts of our English edition. I appreciate that she respected our requests that honor Japanese culture and our faith." —Naoko Ishii, magazine publisher

    ~ Developmental Editor / Essay Tutor / Writing & Storytelling Coach for Motivational Essays, Cover Letters, Personal Statements ~ My name is Emma, and I am an experienced developmental editor / essay writing & storytelling coach from Urbana, Illinois, USA. I have worked in editing since 2016 and specialized in developmental editing since 2018 through my work as Director of Editing at a company specializing in collaborating with candidates applying for top-tier academic programs at institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Columbia University. In this role, I not only tutored candidates in planning, enhancing, and finalizing motivational essays but also trained and ensured editing quality for my entire team. I edit texts in English (my native language) and speak fluent German and intermediate Spanish. I am currently based in Germany and have unique experience in the fields of travel, intercultural competence, and foreign language teaching. What is developmental editing? Developmental editing does not mean simply editing your writing. It is about working with you to understand the best way to tell your story. More than simply proofreading or making suggestions to improve language, developmental editing means collaborating with you to dive deep into your draft, enhance your voice, and ensure your writing is detailed, precise, concise, and clear. Most importantly, I can help you reflect on your text via actionable feedback to dig deeper, enhance the quality of your writing, and persuade your reader that YOU are the person they are looking for. Beyond just talking about past experiences, I apply developmental editing to help you pinpoint the values, motivations, and strong narratives that connect your past to your future ambitions according to your personal profile and experiences. What kinds of documents and challenges can I help you with? • Motivational essays for professional or academic applications • Cover letters & personal statements • Brainstorming, planning, structuring, developing, proofreading, and finalizing your writing • Identifying and expressing values, motivations, and strong, well-connected narratives within your personal profile • Storytelling and leveraging the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, and Result) to help you detail your experiences • Highlighting diverse backgrounds and experiences • Enhancing clarity for non-native English speakers My work is high-quality, detail-oriented, and error-free. Additionally, I always prioritize clear, respectful communication and constructive feedback. I also have strong intercultural communication skills and am particularly eager to work with non-native English speakers. Finally, I have extensive intercultural experience and am a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
