I’m honoured to spend my days immersed in words and stories, and am so grateful to all my wonderful clients who make that a reality. When you’re ready, I’m happy to offer a free sample edit and help you publish with confidence!
“You know how, when you hire someone for a job that means a lot to you, there’s that fear, that worry that it won’t turn out exactly the way you want? That you’ll have to compromise or, worse yet, find someone else and start all over again? At the very least, there’s some compromise involved. At the very worst, it can be a soul-sucking, antagonistic experience.
And then there’s Jennifer Dinsmore.
She’s the rare editor that checks her ego at the door, realizing that it’s the author’s voice that must be enhanced, not her own. Every aspect of her editorial efforts serves the writing. She’s absolutely committed to making the work the best it can be, in the style and voice of the author.
Aside from that, she’s a transparent communicator, letting you know deadlines, status updates, and anything else that pops up. She’s quick to respond and she’s always, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect.
Nothing can replace the feeling of confidence in self-publishing your work, and knowing that it’s as perfect as it can be. And in my case, that’s solely because of what Jen brought to the table.”
“Working with Jennifer is a dream. She helped shape the story that I wanted to write from the start, not knowing exactly what that would look like when I set out. With her editorial help, the book became something I didn’t realize I would get to but hoped that I could. Her attention to detail was impressive, all while keeping her hand on the essence of the story. A very balanced approach.”
“My book would not be what it is without Jennifer’s help. Her invaluable input and suggestions helped make my first self-publishing experience so enjoyable.”

“When working with an editor there is a give and take, an element of trust, and, in the end, a common desire to succeed. You need to find an editor who understands you and what you believe in, and yet provides a level of comfort and support that drives you forward in ways you don’t expect. Jennifer not only provided that kind of support and encouragement but her independence allowed my work to be effectively edited, making it a better book than I could have written on my own. Thank you!”
