Jessie is available for private writing workshops, manuscript consultations, and freelance editing. Her skill as an editor has proven invaluable to her many clients, including novelists honing their prose before submitting to agents, writing students wishing to perfect their short stories, food websites in search of alluring teasers and reviews, and travel magazines desiring snappy, clean copy edits.
"Jessie has quite literally taught me how to write. With a gentle hand but a dictator's determination, she steered me toward my goal. Her superb editorial skills and instincts are in large part responsible for the coherence and completion of my first novel. So, if my book sucks, blame her."
"Whether you write fiction or non-fiction, Jessie Sholl will help you become a better writer. She has a talent for understanding where your work needs to go, and explaining how you can get it there. I can't thank her enough for her supportive and honest editorial touch."
--Robert Glick, contributor to Travelers' Tales Prague
"Jessie Sholl is the total package. She's an editor who knows -- and will help you master -- all the technicals of character development, structure, plot and theme. But she's also highly intuitive; she's able to somehow just feel when something, though technically proficient, could be even better and will tell you exactly how to take your work from good to great, from great, just possibly, to transcendent."
--Lorna Graham, currently shopping her first novel
"I can't thank Jessie enough. Her editing not only shaped my contribution, but taught me a great deal about travel writing."
--Davi Walders, contributor to Travelers' Tales Prague
"Resurrect that neglected book idea or rescue that dusty novel draft and bring it to one of Jessie's workshops. Her feedback is always thought-provoking and constructive; she'll help you focus and enable you to take your work in an exciting new direction."
