A Nice Assistant for your Business

Assistant for authors, heritage organisations and small business owners.

Hey there! I’m Jenny, an editor and assistant with a love of arts and heritage, and a nosey disposition.

With over ten years of marketing and over twenty years of admin experience, I love working with authors, heritage organisations and small business owners.

I can’t wait to meet you, find out what you do and then support you to make it a success.

 

Before we go any further, this is a zero AI place. 
If you’re looking for someone to use AI, I am not the assistant you’re looking for!

“I am so happy I chose Jenny to copyedit A LONG TIME BURNING! Like many authors, I find it very difficult to hand over my manuscript to the professionals. Jenny took the time to get to know me, to discover the inspiration behind the book, and to understand my writing style. I was offered a trial edit which I found really helpful and by the time I handed the whole book over I knew it was in safe, capable, and more importantly, friendly hands. The subject matter of my mystery thriller, and my voice, were respected and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Receiving your edited work back can sometimes feel like a teacher has attacked it with a red pen, but with Jenny, it felt like we were working side by side to polish and shape my story until it sparkled, and was ready for publishing. Thank you; we will certainly be working together again.”

“Jenny epitomises organisation and efficiency. She did a fantastic job of proofreading our website and ensuring everything was consistent and on brand. We’d recommend her to anyone.”

“Having read and enjoyed some of Jenny's books, I knew she would do an awesome job proofreading my novel, Feels Like Home. Working with her on the book was all I’d hoped for and more, her eye for detail and consistency is astounding. Her little notes fact checking or liking parts of the text were super encouraging and really helpful. I’ll be sending more novels her way—when they’re written. Thanks Jenny!”
