Because Jackie took the time to understand me, she really understood my book and helped give me that extra push to take it to the place I’ve been wanting my book to go! Though it may sound weird to say about an editor, I was absolutely touched reading her edits because I really felt seen. I kept thinking to myself: She GETS it!

Jackie at Ground Crew Editorial surpassed my hopes for a developmental edit. I'm writing a middle grade fantasy and I wrote way too many words, especially for current publishing practices. This was the main problem that I asked for help with at the beginning. Jackie came back to me with an incredible editorial letter and suggestions throughout my whole manuscript, helped me realize that I had enough material in there for a whole trilogy, and spent a generous amount of time helping me understand the questions to help me refine the story. I'm so incredibly grateful. Jackie (and her sister, Ariane) is the right person to turn to for help with any story, but especially middle grade fantasy. She GETS IT. I can’t recommend Ground Crew Editorial enough. Highly recommend!

Jackie is highly professional. Her comments and suggestions are well thought out.
She keeps the industry standards in mind, researches, and gives great advice to bring the work to its full potential, all without taking anything away from the author's vision.
Anyone needing editorial work should definitely contact Ground Crew Editorial!

Jackie was fantastic! I needed expedited editing services for a writing competition I was entering.
She was responsive, thoughtful, encouraging, and full of wisdom. I was grateful for Jackie's experience in the field and willingness to support me throughout the whole editing process. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
I felt so supported!

“I was interested in getting the grammar edited and obtaining some structural criticism on a short story, and Ariane's editing skills are both fast and in-depth.
Not only did she make grammatical edits, but she suggested some structural and pacing changes and presented me with a number of questions about the characters and the world they live in that I might want to address in the story itself, questions that readers might ask.
Ariane's in-depth analysis was one of the best things about her work.”

“I have used multiple editors and Ariane was the best. Where she excelled was in story development and identifying gaps or weaknesses, particularly on the character reaction side.
I would highly recommend her as long as she can find time to edit for me in the future!”
