Everyone needs an editor, both newbies and experienced authors. Unclear, grammatically challenged sentences can distort your message and confuse, bore or turn off your reader. Sloppy copy reflects poorly on you. Some books for which I’ve provided developmental editing include:
Passing the Torch: Succession, Retirement & Estate Planning in Family-Owned Businesses (McGraw-Hill, 1992)
Whatever the project—cover letter, news release, book, article, newsletter or memo—ensure your words will say what you mean and mean what you say. My help—whether just copyediting or wholesale developmental editing—will help you convey your message clearly, powerfully and concisely.

"I want to especially thank Jayne Pearl, who is a godsend. Jayne provided more than independent editorial help-she consistently helped my writing to stay focused and provided the feedback that I wanted and feared at the same time. … Her journalistic background, along with her sincere interest in family businesses, makes her a rare and talented individual."-Mike Cohn, Passing the Torch: Succession, Retirement, & Estate Planning in Family-Owned Businesses (Mc-Graw-Hill, 1992)
"Our developmental editor, Jayne Pearl, worked around the clock, with at least one known nap at the keyboard, while trying to restructure the original manuscript under incredibly tight deadlines. She questioned everything and we got away with nothing."-Tom Koulopoulos, Richard Spinello, Wayne Toms, Corporate Instinct: Building a Knowing Enterprise for the 21st Century (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1997)
