Testimonial by Ed Slott

Jessica DuLong did a stellar job of editing my manuscript for publication. This was no easy task since she had to quickly learn a new language—U.S. Tax Code—which some say is tougher than Sanskrit. Jessica was a master at deciphering hundreds of pages of complex material, making my explanations, advice, and warnings clear, readable, and usable. This made the book much less intimidating for readers. That’s an amazing skill.

When the publisher wanted swaths of pages reduced to a single paragraph or two, Jessica condensed the sections beautifully, greatly improving the final product. I also appreciated many aspects of Jessica’s work ethic, including her timely scheduling and delivery, plus her follow-up and review even after the job was “done” (which it never really is). Jessica delivered instantly when last-minute items cropped up, eliminating any deadline stress. In fact, we surprised the publisher by delivering well ahead of schedule. The bottom line is that Jessica is an experienced editor. If she can edit my labyrinthine topic then she can certainly tackle any project and easily exceed expectations!
