“I can’t imagine a better editor than Jessica Yang. She coaxed my (sometimes-rough) first drafts into a finished story I could be proud of, tactfully locating the weak points and always providing concrete feedback that got me headed in a better direction. Her suggestions and changes are so smart, and perfectly in service of the greater whole. She is an absolute joy to work with; I really can’t recommend her highly enough.” —Jessica Mary Best, author of Stars, Hide Your Fires

“Jessica is such a precise, compassionate, and generous editor. Her collaborative approach made for a stream-lined, positive experience. I loved working with her on my manuscript and would highly recommend her skills for any writer looking for a stellar editor-author relationship.” —Emma Carlson Berne, author of Snare Your Crush in Three Easy Steps

“If you’re looking for the best of the best, please look no further than Jessica! The amount of passion, dedication, and sense of wonder Jessica brings is unmatched. It was an absolute honor to work with Jessica.

“I was lucky enough to work with Jessica Yang on several middle grade non-fiction titles, and found her to be a consistently thoughtful, insightful and thorough editor.

I highly recommend her!” —Robin Stevenson, author of 35 books for young readers

“Jessica ‘Miss Editor’ Yang is a precise and positive editor who brings keen industry knowledge to her projects. Although I have seen her drink water from a mug (weird) and get scared by scary things, she is great at catching erroneous commas and does fun voices sometimes. 10/10 would work with her again.” —Eamon Dunn, editor at Choose Your Own Adventure

“Jessica is an incredibly talented, dedicated, and polished editor. She approaches everything that she works on with a thoughtfulness, creativity, humor, and market savvy that makes her an invaluable ally for your story.
