A BIT ABOUT ME
I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects – including writing copy for PR companies, proofreading novels, blogging, and writing newsletters – and am happy to take on any project, but my passion is personal development.
As an accredited life coach myself, I not only speak the language, but I also understand the hard work that goes into creating content and courses. I understand the mindset and the importance of carefully chosen language that goes into helping others on their individual journeys.
​
As an avid bookworm, I have a deep love for the English language, as well as a keen eye for detail. My habit of devouring any written material I can get my hands on gives me the ability to swiftly adapt to different styles, ensuring that I can write in your voice.
​
And as a California girl who has settled in the UK, I cheekily call myself bi-lingual, as I can write in both American English and British English. The differences in word usage, spelling and punctuation rules are more complex than you'd think. (Don't believe me? Go ask a Brit if they've ever worn a fanny pack, or ask an American if they fancy a cheeky Nando's.)
I combine these skills and interests by specialising in offering writing and editing services to coaches and personal-development authors. While I handle the technical details of spelling, grammar, consistency, and all those other boring little bits (which I geek out over), coaches and authors can get on with what they do best: coming up with innovative ways to inspire others and help them be the best versions of themselves possible. They can leave the details to me while they focus on the bigger picture.
TESTIMONIALS
'I can’t tell you how thankful I am for the work Jess did on the editing of a workbook I have written for a masterclass I am getting ready to launch. I love to write but I cannot spell, and this was keeping me from feeling confident in launching my class, fearing that there were going to be errors. Jess went above and beyond in the editing process, making sure everything was correct and flowed without changing my voice. She did everything in a timely matter and her communication through the process was amazing. I have now been able to confidently move forward in my project without fear. Her experience with mindset and Law of Attraction was an added bonus for me, as she was also able to provide me with solid feedback on the actual content. I highly recommend her work to anyone.'

'Jesse is an accomplished writer and editor. I've known her for more than 20 years and have had the opportunity to work with her on several projects, including developing news releases, social media posts and stories for my clients during that time. Her work always demonstrates talent, creativity and high attention to detail.'

'Jesse Lynn Smart. The clue is in the name, I say. If you're a writer then here's one smart cookie you'll want on your side. Well-read, intelligent, thorough, open-minded, meticulous, imaginative (and often giving useful insights and suggestions), I can't tell you how helpful Jesse has been! She's a whizz, as well, at spotting silly typos and grammatical errors when the author gets carried away with the creative flow... Her attention to detail and creativity have been invaluable. Jesse is a natural book lover, a kind soul and a sheer delight to work with. She offers gentle yet effective guidance and is all-around supportive. It's awesome to work with someone who is genuinely passionate about books and bringing stories to life. I highly recommend her.'
'Jesse was a superstar helping me edit my book, Social Media for a New Age 2. She took a keen interest in the content and understanding my style. Working together on it was very enjoyable and she helped me to make the content tighter, brighter, and lighter on a really short deadline. I'll be working with her on copywriting for all different areas of my business going forward. Highly recommend.'

Working with Jesse has been a pure delight. She is warm, friendly, understanding and unassuming. She has been incredibly helpful and made the process of proofreading, which could be quite daunting, to be a complete breeze and actually pretty fun! I feel as though she really cares about keeping your voice and style as an individual but having it be the best that it can be - you with a polished sparkle! I would not hesitate to work with Jesse again and would highly recommend her. I feel incredibly grateful for how easy working with her has been. She comes across as a genuine and caring person. Thank you, Jesse, for your part in my work.
