“I have been writing and editing for a living for over 30 years. Jean sees possibilities that I haven’t thought of and makes subtle changes that absolutely transform my prose! She is the ‘Editor’s editor’—for all the writers out there who think their prose can be improved upon.” —Mary Chapman, Professor of English, University of British Columbia

“Jean’s expert eye and judicious comments made me think about foundational parts of my manuscript in new ways – not only for the parts she edited, but also for the parts she didn’t.” — E. James West, author of A House for the Struggle: The Black Press and the Built Environment in Chicago

“In our work together on external grants and publications, Jean’s attention to asset-based language, understanding of the complexity of projects and programs, and ability to synthesize layers of information made our work easily understandable to wide audiences.” — Erin O’Keefe, France-Merrick Foundation

“As an international scholar, I worry about writing with clarity in English. Jean’s attentive comments and guidance helped me develop into a better writer.” — Jewon Woo, Lorain County Community College

“I counted on Jean’s sensitive eye regarding race and gender issues to ensure our words reflected our commitment to social justice.” — Peter Van Buren, Bolton Hill Bulletin
