About Jessica

Jessica R.Status: Offline
Wordsmith and English Expert - AP & CMOS
Seattle, United States - 9:12 am local time
I am an editor with roots in journalism and creative writing workshops. I have more than 10 years of experience editing manuscripts to Chicago style and articles to AP style, and can switch back and forth fluently. In addition to expert knowledge of the the English language and its rules, I’ve spent my career filling my fact-checking toolbox, following developments in media ethics, copyright, publishing, and growing as a writer and writer’s mentor.

In 2022, I edited and/or proofread the following published novels (Chicago style):
“Scientia: a Short History of Knowledge” by Edward McClure (general science; developmental edit, proofread, fact-check, creation of index, formatted for KDP)
“A Reckoning of Wraiths: a Trove Arbitration Novel” by Amanda Creiglow (urban fantasy; proofread)
“The Royal Matchmaking Competition: Prince Zadkiel” by Zoiy G. Galloay (YA fantasy/romance; developmental edit and proofread)

Since 2020, I’ve been lead editor for Spendwell.com (AP style, consistency of tone, fact-check, occasional writing, creation of company style guide). Swing by if you’re interested in my skills as an editor, or in the quantification and ranking of corporate ethical performance using publicly available data.

If you choose to work with me, I guarantee:
A spotless edit. I’m proficient in AP, Chicago, and MLA styles.
Thoughtful feedback, delivered with growth of the writer or company in mind.
Communication: I will be available, ask questions rather than assume, and update throughout.
Your content will be accurate, thoughtful, unique, and adhere to media and publishing ethics/law.
Timeliness: I work well under a deadline.

*I do not ghostwrite unless explicitly stated in contract*
** I do reader reports and will edit academic papers. I do not write academic papers/assist in academic fraud**
