Testimonial by Atoosa Rubenstein

Jessica is a rock star. I have so much gratitude and respect for her work. She managed the herculean feat of pulling material from interviews, writings, text messages, speeches, and journal entries, and then organized all that content into a solid draft. As we worked to establish the best flow, style, and structure, she made brilliant edits and revision suggestions, turning them around fast. I was in a cracked-open place, swimming in the muck of writing about some ugly moments in my life, getting my squeaky writing gears moving again. Jessica provided great support and sensitivity even as she gave me the cut-to-the-chase feedback that I needed to move forward.
