Testimonials
I cannot imagine my writing and publishing life without Linda Jones, the Writing Doula!
For the past 30 years, Linda has been my go-to editor and writing coach. As an editor, she adheres to the AP and Chicago style guides and often supports her editorial comments with the appropriate documentation from those sources. Her work scope, timelines and prices are always clearly stated upfront and yet she is flexible, a fact I appreciate because of my often-changing schedule. Perhaps her greatest skill is her empathetic style in delivering feedback. She is gentle with your feelings and so encouraging.

Linda Jones was an absolute wonder to work with and I was honored to have her help in bringing my manuscript to life. She took the time to provide a detailed review of my work, gave concrete suggestions and examples and made me feel like she was a "partner" in my success. This was the first time I felt as though an editor took the time to really get "into" my work and her plain spoken manner really helped me to see how to improve my writing. She was professional and even when providing constructive criticism she knew how to communicate with me in a way that I could receive. I would HIGHLY recommend that you contact her if you are in need of a thorough review of your work. Not only was she concerned about the overall quality of my piece - but she helped me to see how to better position myself with my market and how to better communicate my ideas. My only regret is that I did not contact her sooner. I believe that my manuscript is much better off as a result of her work and I am eternally grateful.

Linda Jones is, hands-down, one of the most talented writers I know. Her feature writing work in The Dallas Morning News was always singular in its perspectives and phrasing. She has a keen ear for the poetry and prose of language. I imagine her to be equally impressive as a workshop leader. As a guest lecturer in my journalism classes, she was always engaging, substantive and wise.
