Editing services for introverts
Your preferences matter
Our personalities shape how we think, communicate, use and restore energy, and receive feedback.
So let’s use your strengths to prepare your work for the audience you want.
“I am a sensitive and introverted autistic writer, and I felt that Jessica truly valued and cared for me as a writer. The careful and professional manner of her editing process was exactly what my novel needed.”

An introvert-friendly approach
Not all introverts are the same, of course, but you may find the following options helpful.
Do you like feeling fully prepared before making decisions?
Test the waters before committing to anything
A free sample edit will show you what to expect.
My editing process will be outlined extensively up front.
We’ll sign a clear service agreement before starting.
You won’t be pressured into working with me. I want you to feel comfortable about your decision.
Do you prefer written communication to long calls?
You decide how we communicate
If you prefer writing to speaking, let’s email or use a text-based chat.
Video meetings are not necessary, but if you’d like one, we can schedule a brief, low-pressure discussion.
An introductory questionnaire will ask for your communication preferences at the start.
Are you highly introspective and sensitive?
Ease into change
We’ll design a schedule that allows you to look through my feedback and answer questions at your own pace.
Receiving numerous changes and suggestions on your work can be overwhelming, so I also send tips for tending to your nervous system and emotions during the process.
Do you deeply value your independence and privacy?
You are the author
My job is to help you reach your goals. I won’t try to take control of the text or make it mine.
You’re free to turn down any suggestions or changes I make, and I will ensure the final version reflects your decisions.
I will never share or discuss your writing without your consent.
“I have received critical feedback before on my manuscript to a point where I’d feel defensive. I didn’t feel this way at all and that was huge for me.”
