Are you going to HNS 2015?

I am so excited to attend my first Historical Novel Society Conference in Denver this June! I'll be presenting on three panels: (Re)creating the Past: Historical Fiction Without the Famous; The Art of Book Cover Design for Historical Fiction; and The Red Pen and Historical Fiction: An Editor’s Perspective. Will you be attending? I'd love to meet you there!

Testimonials:

Jenny truly has a gift with words, and I recommend her to anyone looking for efficiency, topnotch communication, and quality work. She exceeded all of my expectations, and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future. In fact, I’ve already booked her copyediting service for my next manuscript! ~Rachel L. Demeter, author of The Frost of Springtime

I feel Jenny’s help was instrumental in helping me finally get a literary agent with this book. I’d had some interest before the edit, but the first agent that read it after the edit signed me in less than a week! ~Laura Purcell, Queen of Bedlam, coming in June 2014 from Myrmidon

It was very gratifying to have the legitimate North Star Press select my historical novel, The Thirty-Ninth Man, to add to their impressive list of published books. There is no doubt that Jenny’s editing helped make it happen. ~Dale Swanson, author of The Thirty-Ninth Man

Jennifer Quinlan came to my rescue and kept me from having a nervous breakdown. She loves historicals and it showed in the way she handled my story. She was a consummate professional, keeping her edits to a minimum and making suggestions that forced me to look at my story in a different way. Her fresh take was wonderful! ~Gayle Mullen Pace, author of A Rose Beneath the Snow

I'm extremely pleased with the job you've done, Jenny. Your edits were spot-on, and your historical insight has been indispensable. It is now the polished, professional work I was hoping to end up with, and I'm very glad I chose you to be my copyeditor. ~Philip Adams, author of Blood of the Summoned

You're the best editor I've ever worked with! ~ Suzanne Lilly, author of Gold Rush Girl

"Your review was outstanding . . . Thank you so much for your excellent help. You richly deserve your good reputation.

~ George Steger, author of Sebastian's Way: The Pathfinder

You are absolutely wonderful! You can change my sentences without changing my sentences. In my years in the publishing industry, I've seen many an editor with a heavy hand who insert their voice over that of the author. You have a much more delicate touch; you can correct without taking over. My voice, my story, remains exactly that. Thank you! ~Kathryn Loch, author of Mist Warrior and Demon Laird

Could you be any more brilliant??? Thank you so very much! ~Sandra Byrd, author of Roses Have Thorns: A Novel of Elizabeth I and Mist of Midnight

Welcome!
