For two years I piddled with writing Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty, a book for young women. Then Jan Weeks' name was given to me. Within six weeks I had a finished book. Jan is not only a quick and efficient editor, she encourages and mentors her clients. She's a woman I greatly admire. -- June Fellhauer, author/founder Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty
Jan -- I have been busy with all the homework you gave me. After I got over my initial review of your edit, that is. To say your edit shocked me would not be correct. I finally got hold of myself, soothed my ruffled feathers, and dug in to learn from your edit. And learn I have. You did an excellent job with my rough, first draft and I believe the final product will be marketable as a consequence. I have made many changes and I believe you would approve of most of them. I did not follow all your suggestions, but were it a contest instead of an edit, you would be the clear winner. -- Jerry Hunsinger, Axe of Iron trilogy, Volume One:The Settlers
I am an official court reporter for San Francisco Superior Court. Jan Weeks has been my proofreader for approximately eight years. Because of her extensive background as an English teacher, writer and editor, she is the most highly qualified and most competent proofreader I have had in 31 years of reporting. Her work is thorough, and if I have a deadline or a rush job, she always completes it on time. She not only catches typos, but reads for content and catches mistranslated words that I may have missed. -- Joyce Long, CSR
As part owner of a local newspaper, hiring Jan Weeks as our copy editor was a move I will never regret. Jan has the ability to edit the paper in detail and is always concise in what she does. I’m never concerned about the paper having mistakes when I know she has done the editing. Whenever I have needed her to take on urgent tasks, she is Johnny-on-the-spot. Corrections are made, re-writes are done and we are on our way to the next project without any lag time. -- Jan Curtis, Things To Do Magazine
Professional editing from a professional writer. If you want to flesh out a scene or add the connective tissue to make it work, Jan's detailed critiques will help you. Perfect punctuation, an ear for dialogue and the nuances of character development. Put Jan Weeks at the top of your list if you need line editing. -- D.R. Curry, author of the Robert Masterson Morgan detective novels.
Jan can take instant pudding and make it sound like chocolate mousse. -- M.J. Cadgene, screenwriter and novelist
