I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jennifer for my first publication, Our Yellow Brick Road. I was extremely apprehensive about the editing process, as the book told my very personal story and I was nervous that my voice would be removed. However, it turned out to be a brilliant experience with Jennifer! Her suggestions were offered with respect and care, and I was both relieved and ecstatic to see that she managed to bring out even more of my voice in the process. Jennifer is a true gem who I can't wait to work with again!
