Ms Jorgenson did the developmental editing for my debut novel, and I highly recommend her. As an entrepreneur, she is timely with her contacts and responses, her engagement contract is clear and well crafted, and she is personable and respectful in her communications. With her professional work, she is direct, thorough, and even forceful in detailing strengths and weaknesses with a manuscript. But she does this without being critical or demeaning as to areas needing improvement, nor, on the other hand, does she fawn over or gratuitously flatter positive areas. But do know the very comprehensive memorandum she provides at the end of her engagement will put you back to work! read more

I used Signe to help whip the final draft of a novel into shape and I found her to be a good combination of sensitive and firm. She definitely has a knack for pointing out issues in a way that makes you feel like your writing is being improved rather than torn down. I'd actually hired an editor before Signe who didn't have that skill and at the end I almost deleted two years of work. Signe isn't going to blow smoke up your butt (at least she didn't with me) but she will see your vision and work with you to strengthen it. She even offers very detailed suggestions on knotty parts of the MS to get your imagination flowing. She's timely, professional, and reasonably (but not suspiciously) priced. read more

Signe edited my resume for me. She is really good at what she does! I really can't recommend her enough. She is professional, fast, and reasonable...plus she's really nice! Signe was beyond helpful in updating my resume to be professional and landing me an interview and ultimately the job! I would use her editorial services again in a heartbeat! read more

I have worked with Signe Jorgenson a couple times now, and she is every bit the professional. Her notes are on point and accurate, her critiques are always constructive and her advice and knowledge are both useful and impressive. Somehow, with all of that she is still personable and warm and rooting for your success! She will always be my first choice for an editor and you could not make a better choice in making her yours. read more

I have worked with Signe Jorgenson as an editorial colleague for over seven years, and I am regularly impressed by her abilities and determination to do the job right. She is careful, thoughtful, and most importantly for an editor, thorough. I have never heard her say "oh, it's probably fine." She will check a usage precedent and then double check, if need be. In addition to being an ace with grammar and punctuation, she knows how a story should be told. I have witnessed her give constructive, thoughtful content feedback to many writers. Signe can always see the big picture. She brings creativity and innovation to every project by stepping back to look skillfully at the work as a whole. This is what has made her such an excellent co-editor in chief at Stoneboat and Pebblebrook Press. As a writer and an editor myself, it is a pleasure to work with her, and I learn something new from her every time we work together. read more
