Testimonials
“Jessica is my go-to person before I send in my manuscripts to editors and publishers. Her eagle eye has saved me from making bonehead mistakes dozens of times. I’m grateful for her expertise.”
—Mike Yorkey, co-author of The Shot Caller and more than 100 books.
“Jessica
is an editor with patience for rookie authors. Her editing made my book more
readable, while still letting my own personality shine through the pages.”
—Craig Knudsen, author of Too Much, Too Loud, Too Fast.
“My editor, Jessica Snell, was invaluable. She offered excellent suggestions,
asked great questions, gently challenged me on pieces of theology, grammar, the
use of certain phrases and particular pronouns, and provided encouraging words
too. The time, energy, and expertise she expended on this project took it to a
whole new level, helping to bring greater value to the reader. My interactions
with Jessica and her partnering with me on this journey were an unexpected gift
from God.”
—Larry Warner, author of Discernment, God’s Will & Living Jesus.
“I’ve had an incredible experience working with Jessica. I’m a first-time author, and she provided a first-rate experience. She has been incredibly patient, responsive, detailed, and creative. She knows her craft, and I highly recommend her to any author!”
—Jerome Fogel, author of The Gauntlet: Five Keys for Unlocking Success in Leadership.
“Working with Jessica on my book was so surprisingly easy and fun. When I, in my long-ago youth, tried to imagine writing a book, visions of demoralization and typewriters with sticky keys were all that my mind could conjure. When really, what you do is lie around in bed eating chocolate and bashing words out into space and then a really nice person writes back and says, ‘too many commas,’ or ‘rearrange that,’ or ‘I’m not sure what you meant here,’ and, occasionally, ‘that’s really good.’”
—Anne Kennedy, Patheos blogger and author of Nailed It: 365 Sarcastic Devotions for Angry or Worn-Out People.
“I appreciated having Jessica proofread my book—she caught some really good typos!”
—Gina Pastore,
radio host and author of Picking
Up My Shattered Pieces.
Editing and Proofreading Services
I offer services that range from simple proofreading to in-depth developmental editing. I love helping authors polish their book projects so that their own voices shine through in a clear and compelling way.
If you have a book that needs proofreading, copyediting, or developmental editing, please email me at jessicasnelledits@gmail.com for information regarding my availability and for a project estimate. My fees fall within the EFA’s suggested rates and I pride myself on regularly completing projects within my estimates. For new projects, I’m happy to offer a sample edit of five pages for a small price, so that we can both decide if we’d be a good fit for working together.
