Happy Clients!
Jennia is a fantastic editor -- extremely thorough, open to feedback, and always right on schedule. She is extremely professional and easy to work with. I have worked with her on three different manuscripts and am always incredibly happy with the end result.

Working with Jennia on my debut novel A Realm of Ash and Shadow was an incredible experience from start to finish. Her edit suggestions and feedback were so thorough and her attention to detail was unmatched. Because of her gentle and informative feedback, I was able to learn from her wisdom and become much stronger with my craft. I highly recommend booking Jennia as your editor if you're looking to have someone in your corner who can elevate your book and your writing skills without tearing you down in the process.

Adding to my writing and publishing team has always taken research, recommendations, and ultimately,
a leap of faith. With Jennia D’Lima, however, my concerns about finding the right editor were put to rest
immediately.
One of Jennia’s many gifts is detail. She brings to the table a firm understanding of story, what it takes to
fill the needs of genre, and how to manage plot structure from start to finish.
From her ability to point out story gaps to her keen eye for the nuances of character development, I
have confidence that she can help a writer fine-tune any manuscript, making it exponentially better. And
her line edits are thorough and spot on too!
Jennia is well versed in best practices and judicious with each comment she makes, but she doesn’t just
hand an edited manuscript back. She walks beside her client through the sometimes daunting process of
polishing it, all without taking away the writer’s voice.
I couldn’t be happier with Jennia’s services and am so grateful to have her in my corner.

Jennia D’Lima is a professional editor who is thorough, on-time, and professional. Most of all she has a big heart and encourages your project from the get go with human insight and an editor’s eye on clarity. When I needed editing, Jennia and few other editors offered a sample edit on my first book to see if I would be interested. Compared to the other editors, Jennia’s sample edit stood out due the collaborative nature of her comments and the fact that she completed an entire chapter where the other editors only completed a few pages.
Jennia edited my 230 page book with numerous comments in Word over multiple passes. After she returned the entire manuscript with edits, I took 3-4 weeks to revise and send back to her for another pass. She was easily accessible by text or email during the process, and we set up a few Zoom calls to collaborate further. Jennia pushed me to stick to my memoir’s theme and include how I felt at the time issues presented as well as later. Her suggestions on providing a window into my reality has helped my readers gain a greater understanding of the struggles I endured.
Jennia’s educational background was a close fit to my book’s theme. This allowed her to have additional insights compared to other editors. Finally, when the editing was complete, Jennia encouraged me on how to market my book on social media to create a buzz before publication date. She also connected me with a cover designer and proofreader. I highly recommend Jennia for the experienced or new writer. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Hallelujah! Finding Jennia was a blessing.
So, listen up novice as well as experienced authors! You need Jennia!
I knew less than nothing about the publishing process when I reached out for an editor. I felt comfortable with her almost immediately. She took my manuscript and made it shine. I learned so much from her through this journey. Her advice and recommendations guided and encouraged me to finally see my dream as a reality.
I’m looking forward to sending her many more of my manuscripts. Thank you, Jennia for treating me with respect and professionalism.
