Leslie Vedder,
bestselling author of The Bone Spindle trilogy
"Jennica was a beta reader for my debut YA fantasy. She really understood the heart of the book, and especially all the relationships between the characters, and her notes were really sharp about the pacing at the beginning of the book and places to build in character and worldbuilding. Jennica was also really enthusiastic about the project, which I very much appreciated—it was wonderful to get her positive feedback in the early stage of the project, to help bolster my confidence going in."
John L.,
author of When You Run to the Sea
"From my perspective, I couldn't have asked for a better developmental editor than Jennica. In her feedback and comprehensive assessments, she conveyed detailed analysis as well as encouragement. Her comments are helpfully tempered by realism and deep awareness of literary industry expectations. Her suggestions help you see your own document in a new light and encourage you to revisit your document with renewed vigor."
Cynthia Cappers,
author of "Tyger Tyger"
"Jennica is an excellent editor. Her edits and comments are insightful and supportive, and she has an incredible eye for small but impactful changes that make a world of difference to the narrative. What I loved most about working with her is that she respected my style and voice as an author. I highly recommend her services."
Michelle Dotter,
editor-in-chief of Dzanc Books
"Jennica came to our rescue with an emergency copy edit and truly delivered with a fast turnaround and incisive revision notes. She has a sharp eye and cares deeply about giving her best on every project. She has my complete recommendation."
Oleander Craw,
author of Devouring Fortune
"Jennica was great to work with. The line edits she completed were extremely thorough and thoughtful, and the letter guided me into making additional edits that overall made my novel much stronger and the language sharper. Absolutely plan on working with Jennica again on future novels."
Ali Ives,
author of The Epitome of Science trilogy
"As an author, I cannot stress enough how much Jennica's work as an editor has helped me. She has a keen eye for detail, a great grasp on what makes characters and themes work, and is brilliant at balancing fair, well-explained constructive criticisms with cheerful encouragement. I couldn't ask for a better editor!"
Laury A. Egan,
author of Once, Upon an Island & more
"Jennica Dotson is a splendid line editor as well as an excellent plot and character analyst, who is willing to roll up her sleeves and tackle even the most complex manuscript. She takes great pains to 'get' what an author is trying to accomplish and suggests ways the writer can bring that vision to fruition. A sensitive, smart, responsive, and delightful copyeditor!"
E. J. Dawson,
author of Echo of the Evercry
"Jennica was a newer editor at Literary Wanderlust but took a shine to my NA Fantasy, Echo of the Evercry. I had an idea of where this story would go, but Jennica reached inside and found the true voice of this piece, and brought it into being. There were times I knew what I meant and I wasn't relaying that to the reader as clearly as I could and Jennica brought out that inner voice in me. They are wonderful for emerging ND voices, and when you have a heart story you can't quite articulate. Jennica will be there and they will help you find it."
