My clients range from New York Times bestselling authors to brand-new writers just starting out. Here are just a few of my clients' achievements:
- Goodreads Choice Award Finalist

I depend on Jenny Q’s attention to detail and nuanced feedback of my work during both the planning and the early-draft stages of writing. She’s able to point out the deficiencies/contradictions in characterization, lags in pacing, or inadvertently gaping plot holes in an encouraging, thoughtful way that ultimately leads to a series of “aha” moments of inspiration. I can’t recommend her more highly.
