Editing That Makes Sense

Jeannette edited my first novel, Visions 2012: The Nostradamus Design.  As a first-time author and self-publisher, I had no idea what to expect with the process, especially with my initial search for an editor.  But I was thorough in my search, asking for sample edits of my work, and searching for reviews and references.  Jeannette's style for the sample was by far the most attractive to me.  She suggested the changes that made the most sense, without trying to re-write what I had written or change my style of writing.  She pointed out areas that needed work, and gave solid reasons.  She carried that style through the whole manuscript once I chose her as my editor.  I think the best part about working with Jeannette was that she does a complete second round of edits once you have gone through the first round.  Naturally, with all the changes you either accept, ignore or modify there will be a need for a second review.  Visions 2012 is now available on Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble online, and is getting fantastic early reviews.  I highly recommend Jeannette to help you with your project as well.

A Great Asset

I had the pleasure of working with Jeannette de Beauvoir on our organization's annual 52 page travel magazine.  She was a great asset during the entire project.  She brought in fresh ideas for the articles during the development meetings, met all the deadlines, and graciously worked with the editing comments of a nine-member board. The project had been divided between three writers but late into the project one of the writers was removed and Jeannette wrote the three missing articles and did so within the limited amount of time left.  She has the unique ability to make suggestions while staying completely within the direction and tone of the project for a truly collaborative relationship.

Listens to Clients

Warnings CoverWhen I was writing Warnings: The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather I wanted a story that would be easy and fun to read even though it dealt with history and science. I chose Jeannette because she convinced me she would listen to me and help me attain my goal. She even came to Kansas to go storm chasing in order go get inside the story. I'm very pleased with the final result and so are the critics.

A Professional Editor

While searching for a professional editor I was very fortunate to find Jeannette! I was very impressed with her knowledge and ability to not only edit my manuscript but also make it better. Jeannette went above and beyond what I expected. She provided helpful tips and education throughout the process that were very much appreciated. Not only do I recommend Jeannette de Beauvoir but I will continue to use her services as well.

Gets It Done with Style

Whether it is a simple thank you note or an important business communication, Jeannette gets it done with style. With brush (keyboard) and canvas (monitor) in hand, she has the ability to pen a story that not only gets one's attention, it demands it. There are very few who can deliver both the steak and the sizzle. Jeannette is at the head of that class.

Professional and Insightful

Jeannette and I have worked together in three capacities. We got acquainted through the Copyediting-L forum, where we participate as colleagues. Then I subcontracted to her in a teaching edit on a client’s novel, after which she served as copy editor for my own book—a nonfiction title in a series for which she was the series editor. We’ve also communicated informally about our respective works in process. In all cases, her professionalism, insight, and positive attitude have carried through whatever project or discussion was underway. I look forward to working with her again, and recommend her services without hesitation.

The Best Job I've Ever Had

Doing sales for Customline has been the been the best job I've ever had and that is because of Jeannette. She is incredibly knowledgeable about communications marketing and SEO. She is quick to respond to client's questions and concerns and she is aware of trends before anybody else is. I have learned more working with Customline than in any other position.
