Line editing, copyediting and proofreading services for indie authors and publishers.

I specialise in contemporary and historical romance, romantic suspense and women's fiction, although I also edit a wide range of other genres.

Authors: Do you need friendly, positive and non-judgemental support to polish your novel? I have experience in a wide range of genres, and I edit with empathy – my objective is to keep your unique voice in the work. Contact me via my website or email for a sample edit.

Publishers: I offer professional, reliable and responsive copyediting, line editing and proofreading.

Voluntary Sector and Charities: Are your funding bids, reports, newsletters or publications in need of a critical overview? I edit for clarity and accuracy and ensure your content is clear, easy to read and well-presented. I also undertake fact-checking or research by arrangement.

Testimonials

I've worked with Jenny at Warren Proofreading on a number of books now, and I would not consider using anyone else. A good editor is hard to find and I am keeping hold of this one! She has been flexible with timings, constructive with comments, and is an absolute star with regards to helping with blurbs. She's professional, thorough and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend working with her. She's worth every penny! Audrey Harrison, Best-selling Author of Historical Fiction and Amazon Storyteller Finalist 2018

The standard of Jenny’s work is extremely high. She provides detail, involvement and thoroughness in her work, which not only achieves a high standard in the finished work but also adds value to the publishing experience of our authors. We are very pleased to recommend her. Grosvenor House Publishing

I’m new to being an author, and whilst I’m happy to put words on a page (in the right order, usually), I’ve found Jenny’s editing and copy reviewing absolutely priceless! I’ve used her for both of my books and look forward with total confidence as I continue to use her skills and experience. Geoff Major, Author

Jenny is one of the most reliable and trustworthy proofreaders I've had the pleasure of working with. She responds to emails and messages very quickly and consistently meets deadlines (even at short notice). Working with Jenny means I often feel as though a weight is lifted during busy periods, as I know that work will always be delivered on time and to a high quality. Thanks, Jenny! Dr Nicole Woodford, Company Director, Larkin Tutors

Jenny gave very helpful feedback with a really quick turnaround. Her approach was professional but also friendly; she helped me to improve my writing without discouraging me. I was confident that I could rely on her skill and accuracy, and her ability to support me to use plain language. As a new writer, I found her help invaluable. Margaret Davies, Red Dragonfly Services
