My rates are competitive, my work thorough, but compassionate. As I am also a writer, I know exactly how hard you’ve worked, and how important it is to be given clear guidance on where to go next.

“Three years ago, Jordan
Rosenfeld became my editor. Her keen eyes, gentle
probing, and insightful suggestions have helped me
develop my writing abilities and create my own unique
style and voice. She has taught me to dig deeply
into my psyche and to explore the territory encompassing
my own shadows. I have learned to “show” rather
than “tell” and to paint my stories
with a fine camelhair brush rather than a spray
gun. With
her help, I am learning the satisfying and never-ending
process of the craft of writing.”
— J. Michael Gospe, M.D.
Jordan is not only a wonderful
editor, but also a superb and nurturing teacher.
When she finds a pattern of irregular writing within
my work, she educates me about why it is incorrect
usage in a nonjudgmental way and tells me not only
how to recognize the problem, but also how to fix
it to make it better. I unequivocally and resoundingly
recommend Jordan Rosenfeld as the person you should
choose. I cannot imagine using anyone else. She is
my saint, the one who understands my needs and performs
at a level unsurpassed.
— Saulander Evans, Author of Choices Born of Prophesy
“I want to thank Jordan
for all her hard work and positivity on both the
novel and screenplay version of “Know the Enemy.” I've
been so impressed with her timeliness, thoroughness
and excellent communication that I'd gladly tell
anyone who asked that her service is excellent. “
— Jill A. Carlton, Author of Know the Enemy
“I opened the file
with Jordan’s commentary and found that she
did more than just edit this manuscript. She affirmed
me. I just now got up the nerve to start reading
her actual edit and I am so delighted that I barely
know what to say. Jordan is brilliant and her feedback
is deeply healing to me. I cannot thank her enough.
She is worth more to me than I can ever pay.”
— Sylvia Peterson, author of Laura & Me, a Memoir
