Blue Flower Publishing
Hello! I'm Jennifer Agee, a freelance copy editor, project manager, and writer.
Why Hire an Editor?
You’re writing for a reason.
You have something to communicate, and you want your readers to get the message—from first impression, to full comprehension, to call to action.
As your editor, I'll make sure your text is error-free, informative, and persuasive.
Voice
From marketing copy to academic research, there are a thousand ways to write for an audience. I’ll help ensure your voice—and your message—is heard.
Clarity
Problems like passive voice and wordiness can challenge any writer—and confuse any reader. I’ll make sure each sentence is active and clear.
Style
Build trust with your readers. I'll refine essential style and branding details while ensuring consistency.
Accuracy
Did you double-check your math, the spelling of that unusual name, and the phone number you want readers to call? I’ll check the facts.
Jennifer Agee
Freelance Editor, Project Manager, and Writer
I've been copy editing since 2001. My specialties are investing, business intelligence, and theology, but I can edit anything.
I've also worked as a production manager to coordinate editorial, design, marketing, and sales teams. I developed and implemented a custom content project management solution for a fast-paced daily blog. As a managing editor, I've developed author relationships, set print budgets, created style guides, written marketing copy, optimized SEO, and more.
How can I help you?
