Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know who to pick?
You do not have to choose alone. Tell us about your project, timeline, and goals, and we’ll help match you with the editor, writer, designer, or trainer who best fits your needs and our team’s availability.
What is your hourly rate, and do you have a job minimum?
Rates and minimums vary depending on the type of work, project scope, timeline, and professional assigned. After reviewing your project details, we’ll provide a clear estimate before work begins.
Can you help if I’m not sure what service I need?
Absolutely! Many clients come to us with a document, deadline, or general problem rather than a specific service request. We’ll help identify whether you need developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, formatting, or a combination of services.
Testimonials
Our Customers Say
This year when writing my dissertation for my Doctoral degree, there was no one I would have preferred to use to edit the more than 200-page document than Jessica Stampe. I recommended Jessica to friends and colleagues repeatedly. Each time, she is the first person to come to mind—and the only writer and editor I recommended.

Jess was an amazing editor who put me at ease from the first email exchange. The dissertation process is scary and stressful, but Jess was professional and reassuring through the entire editing experience. Good communication is key and I never felt like I couldn’t reach out with questions or clarifications. Jess constantly kept me in the loop from start to finish. Turn around time was also important and she was fast, efficient, and thorough. I’ve already recommended her to others!
