TESTIMONIALS

"Ava Jae as an editor is like a friend who treats your work with the utmost care and respect.

As her big picture critique for me began to sink in, I could see my story transforming itself into something much more complex and ambitious. She has given my imagination a catalyst. Her line edits are straight to the point and will save me months of blood and sweat trying to comb through the words.

Ava Jae's critique isn't just about what has to be fixed in my work, but what my story could become. Her insight is going to help my story reach its full potential."

-Hannah Chen

"Ava provided feedback that was helpful, clear and encouraging. She was extremely thorough in her edits and really understands how to set up pace! I would definitely recommend Ava to other fantasy writers!"

-Julia Ember

Author of Unicorn Tracks, and the upcoming The Tiger's Watch

"Ava has storytelling in her bones. She knows how to fix the big stuff—the story structure, the character development—but she's just as amazing at tweaking dialogue or pointing out when a word isn't quite working. She's helped me so much with my novels and I would have a lot of trepidation putting a novel out into the world without getting her feedback first."

-Caitlin Sinead

Author of Heartsick, and Red Blooded

"As a writer, Ava understands what writers need from their editors. Although she's not afraid to point out a manuscript's inadequacies that some critique partners might be reluctant to address, Ava also highlights your literary gems and reminds you that what you wrote is not just a seires of words, but a story worth sharing."

-Christopher Chancy

I hoped to hire an editor who would get my project and help me take my vision to the next level. I got that, and more, when I hired Ava Jae. Her editorial letter was torough, spot on, but gentle. Her line edits were smart and kept my voice intact. Her suggested changes were so natural to the overall flow, I wondered why I didn't think of them myself! Her comments left me energized and excited to start revising.

She was the perfect editor to help me make my project the best it can be. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an editor and I will definitely be a. repeat client."

-SJ Lomas

Author of Dream Girl

"Wow, what great insight! I loved working with Ava and will do so again soon. Not only did she pick up on little things that would improve the flow and pacing of my manuscript, she was able to pinpoint and help me find ways to fix my big picture issues. I couldn't believe how detailed her edit letter was—she obviously gave my project a lot of thought, which I appreciated. But even with everything she pointed out, she stayed positive. I felt like I had a coach cheering me on toward the finish line. I will have a much stronger manuscript thanks to her help."

-Jennifer Dyer

"I've been following Ava as a writer for years now, her blog a true wealth of knowledge that has not only improved my writing, but also help me cement my own writing style. I didn't think it was possible to do any better until I had the chance to actually work with her, one on one. Ava critiques in a way that challenges you raise the bar on yourself, to really look at your writing in a more objective way that not only improves the piece your working on, it sets you up for any future works you have in store. There's no question about working with Ava, just do it."

-Peta Hen

"Ava Jae's edit of my manuscript was so helpful, I simply can't put it into words. Had I sent it off to agents, I definitely would've been rejected and never would've understood why. But her critique was very on point and resonated with me so much. Her in-line edits are great and her overall analysis of the MS is full of examples from the story and useful resources. Overall, I was so pleased and couldn't recommend her more."

-Tiffany Reyes

"I disagreed with Ava the first time I read her review—she was wrong about everything. The second time I conceded she was right about some things. My third read showed me she was right about everything. Her advice made me a better writer. It'll make you one too. She also answered my follow up queries, in detail. And she laughed at my jokes. I'd recommend her on that alone. Use her—she's exceptional."

-Jason Greenwood

"Amazing! Perfect! Exactly what my mss needed—that's Ava Jae!

I'd spent my craft, woven all my word magic, and was left with a manuscript that was as tangled as pair of earphones left in my jeans pocket. By the time Ava Jae was done with their edits, not only did I have a clear direction of where to dig in and where to go, but Ava Jae also sprinkled vital links to blogs, docs, and books to help put a shine on my skills in the areas that needed them.

So yes, yes I would recommend the hell out of their services."

"Ava Jae was great to work with. I was looking for an experienced set of eyes to give me honest feedback about my work and to help me avoid some pitfalls going forward with future works in the series. Ava worked quickly and helped me see things in my book that I never would have caught on my own. She has an easy and tactful way of bringing potential problems areas to the writer's attention. I recommend her to people looking for an affordable professional to help them with their writing projects."
