Congratulations to my client Fran DiVecchio, whose book, 5 Things to Know About Successful and Lasting Weight Loss, has been published by Turner Publishing! I worked with Fran as a coach and editor on her manuscript and the book proposal package she sent to potential agents and publishers. I'm thrilled to see her book available nationally and online. In it, Fran shares her story of losing 100 pounds and keeping it off for 12 years, all by replacing bad mental and physical habits with good ones. Congratulations, Fran!

Testimonials

Everyone has a story. Here's what people have said after I've helped them to tell theirs.

  • "Jennifer saved my life. Period. In a month where I was overloaded with work and requests from editors, she swooped in with creative brilliance to 'pen' a proposal for my 'open to exposure' project on very (very) short notice. Her writing was professional and visionary and yet at the same time deeply intuitive, capturing the flavor or my own 'voice.' She is sensitive and graceful, humorous and deeply generous. Jennifer's writing is wonderfully organic and gifted, and I can't wait to work with her once again ~ the entire experience with her was such a complete delight." (Madelyn Mulvaney, writer and photographer)

  • "Jennifer helped me copyedit a booklet that was part of a kit I recently launched. I appreciated Jennifer's ability to simplify my instructions so that they were clear, direct, and easy to understand. She provided great suggestions for making things more consistent, and she was very detail oriented. Thanks, Jennifer for your professionalism. You were a pleasure to work with!" (Jennifer Lee, coach and author)
  • "Making the decision to use a writing coach scared me to death. Choosing Jenna took the edges of that fear and opened me up to all kinds of possibility. Not only is Jenna knowledgeable about the craft of writing, she also has a knack for asking the right questions and then giving me the space to answer them no matter how much I ramble. I often hear myself saying things I wasn't aware of knowing!

    "When I started coaching sessions with Jenna, I felt deflated about my writing after a negative experience in a university workshop. As I talked to Jenna about all the doubts and fears that experience brought up for me, I felt understood. My time with Jenna has been quite the opposite of that workshop; her suggestions, critique and other direction is honest, empathetic, and respectful. I always come away from a session with her feeling positive and excited about my writing.

    "Jenna has helped me with everything from the details that can give a piece of writing its energy to the bigger context that holds those details together. I'm writing about things I never dreamed I could put to paper in a way that was both meaningful and well-written. I'm even considering writing a book – something I've always said I would never do!" (Kimberley McGill, blogger and writer)
  • "You are awesome! You were able to improve the flow without changing my voice. I thank you for that. Your comments really got right to the core of some of the awkwardness. Not only are you good at what you do, but you are professional. You told me when to expect the final copy and you delivered. You weren't swayed by my impatience along the way. I appreciate that." (Patty Kreamer, professional organizer and speaker)
  • "Jennifer is a smart, detail-oriented, and talented editor. Utilizing her services allows me to write more content in less time as I put the time-consuming task of editing in her capable hands. She polishes my words, dresses up my ideas, and improves the quality of my work drastically. The Word Cellar is not an expense. It's an investment." (Al Uszynski, results-focused trainer and speaker)
  • "From the minute I read her proposal until the minute she turned in her project work, I was fully confident that Jennifer was a true professional. She asked great questions, appreciated honest answers and met and exceeded both my deadlines and my expectations. I look forward to adding her on soon for more extended project work!" (Jennifer Gibbs, writer)
  • "While I am not a member of the NSA-Pgh, I do receive your emails. I want to compliment you on the outstanding job you do of presenting the organization and the events that it sponsors. Your writing is tight, engaging, compelling and informative. The idea of telling your audience what they missed is brilliant marketing. Great job! Keep it up." (Peter Berner, Pilot Workplace Advisors®)
