WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT JADEN TERRELL’S
BIG-PICTURE EDITING
“Jaden's
editing comments are not only insightful and articulate, but she
has an uncanny knack for divining the writer's intentions so
that her advice goes right to the heart of the story. She has
helped me immeasurably in fully developing my characters and
plot lines.” - Philip Cioffari, independent screenwriter and
award-winning author of Catholic Boys and Jesusville,
http://www.philipcioffari.com
“Jaden
Terrell brings an eye to editing that encompasses more than the
nits and grammar, the POV and the continuity. She understands
the characters and what makes them tick. Quick to point out that
this character would not do this or that character would *certainly*
do that, her editing not only makes your book better, it makes *you*
better as you grasp her deep understanding of the people you
created. She’s a respectful editor, giving you the hard
criticism with a good dose of what you did right and more than a
little humor. She never condescends but always strives to lift
you up. I choose Jaden to edit my materials because she’s rare
and wonderful and she makes me feel rare and wonderful, too.” -
Nancy Sartor,

“I have
authored three books and used numerous editors but none come
close to Jaden Terrell's editing. Ms Terrell was kind enough to
take me on for my third book, Poison Promise. Ms. Terrell
uniquely focuses on the story - its flow, its continuity and its
message(s). She patiently taught me how important character
point of view (POV) is and how POV relates to the reader's
perspective. She taught me subtle tricks you'll never learn from
traditional editors like leaving a line space between POV
changes so the reader subliminally changes his POV without
confusion. She recommended cuts to my dialog thereby reducing
dilution of my story line and strengthening its flow. Moreover,
Ms. Terrell does her work quickly and efficiently. Her editing
turn around time is uniquely fast as well as accurate and she is
always there for you should you have a question. I will
certainly use Ms. Terrell again for my next book and I strongly
recommend her to you.” - Paul Evancoe - author of Own the
Night, Violent Peace and Poison Promise.

“Jaden Terrell is a rare editing talent, combining macro and
micro perspective so necessary to ensure entertaining and
cohesive structure, plot, sub-plot, tenor, voice and character
development in addition to stronger, active verbs and correct
grammar. But Jaden also knows the author's psyche, understands
well when to insist and when to abide -- and she's always
empathetic. She's the editor's editor. “ - Ben Small, author of
Alibi on Ice and The Olive Horseshoe
“Jaden Terrell’s editorial expertise has proven invaluable to
me. She is wonderful to work with: thorough and dependable, and
she offers a wealth of terrific suggestions and advice. She is
a true professional, and I recommend her highly. Thanks,
Jaden!” - Alana White, author of The Sign of the Weeping
Virgin,

“I
had been writing for years, but kept putting it all on a back
burner . . . waiting for publication to come someday. Then,
when I decided to get serious, I was fortunate enough to meet
Jaden. Jaden has patiently and knowledgably steered me through
my excursions into the world of the written word, helping me
with minor details as well as guiding me in focusing,
tightening, foreshadowing, and other aspects necessary for
preparing my work to present to potential editors or agents.
Without the encouragement and assistance of Jaden Terrell, I'm
afraid all my work would still be sitting on that back burner,
waiting for someday.” - Rosalyn Rikel Ramage, Author of
The Tracks, a middle grade mystery, The Graveyard,
a soon-to-be-published sequel (of sorts), and Millicent's
Tower, under contract to Five Star,
