Check out what genres I edit here.

I highly recommend reaching out to me a few months in advance.

I post my availability up to three months (ex: February, March and April).

You’ll submit your inquiry by filling out an inquiry form here. Please note: I will not respond to inquiries sent to my email or in my Instagram DMs. Thank you for understanding!

Turnaround time depends on the client’s final word count, and the service(s) or package they select. It could be anywhere from 1-4+ weeks.

If the client chooses to have me do a sample edit for them, I will turn on the ‘suggesting’ option in Google Docs. This is how I will edit the client’s manuscript and/or blurb as well. Please note that I only offer sample edits for manuscripts and not blurbs.

After the client selects a date to reserve their slot, signs their contract, and pays their first payment or pays in full, I will start making edits/suggestions to their manuscript.

Blurb editing doesn’t require a deposit since there is a flat fee attached to the service.

Instagram DMs, Email, and/or Google Docs.

Yes! I offer 2-split and 4-split payment options. Clients can pay in full if they wish to do so.

For clients located in the United States, there will be a small upcharge to cover fees. For clients located internationally, there will be an upcharge to cover conversion fees.

I use the ‘invoices’ option on PayPal for payment.

Yes! Before the first payment is paid or a full payment is made (depends on the payment plan the client selects), I will send a contract over to the client. This is after a payment plan and a date has been selected to reserve the client’s slot in my editing calendar.

Invoices must be paid in full or first payments must be paid to officially reserve your slot in my editing calendar.

No, I don’t use any form of AI in my work nor will I work with a client who utilizes AI.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Jessica was amazing. She had great communication throughout the editing process. She's also sweet, and she’ll check with you before doing something. For example, if you've only booked like a line edit, but she notices something plot-wise, she messages you and asks before she does anything. At this rate might just make her my permanent and go to editor.

—Samantha Jayne, Author of Royal Mayhem

As a brand new author, I didn’t know the process of going into editing, and when I spoke with her she was so kind and wonderful answering all of my questions and truly being so sweet. She was able to work with me on everything and gave me incredible feedback. She always kept me up-to-date on her progress. I absolutely loved all of the feedback from leaving fun comments and giving insight into certain aspects to make my story pop even more. She’s such a wonderful person. I will definitely come back to her again for future projects!

—Nicole Ambrosio, Author of False Start

Working with Editing by Jessica Sydney was an amazing experience. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach truly elevated my manuscript. Even the smallest edits made a noticeable difference, improving both the clarity and flow of my writing. The entire process felt smooth, professional and supportive. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated editor.

—Marina Kozareva, Author of The Secret Adventure
