“There was never a moment of uncertainty while working with Kelsey. I felt seen, heard, and most of all, supported. Her style of asking about "suggestions" and how they were handled was filled with caring. I fully recommend Kelsey/Lucky Jupiter Editing for any of your editing jobs, no matter the size. GRATEFUL to have worked with Kelsey.”

-Matthew Reynolds, author of BIGGEST, FULLEST, BRIGHTEST: Shifting the Consciousness of Humanity

“Kelsey was the editor of my book on dance choreography. She was professional and worked around my timeline, helping me not only with editing, but giving overall input on organizing chapters, and chapter titles. Wonderful to work with her, will definitely recommend her without any hesitation.”

-Jayanthi Raman, author of Bharatha Natyam: Choreography for Global Stage

“Kelsey was really professional and kind. She brought things to my attention that needed more details or more explanation and we worked back and forth until we were satisfied with the final product. She was a great communicator and answered all my questions in a timely fashion. She listened to me when I disagreed with any suggestions she had and didn’t try to push her opinion on it. It was nice working with her. Definitely consider her for your next project!”

-Nicky Flinkfelt, author of Zinnia and the Original People

“Editing is a fine art, a puzzle, a satisfying craft, and a very important part of anyone's writing process. I'd be honored to help you along the way of your writing journey.”
