    Hello! My name is Jessica Beeson. I am a freelance book editor, writer, and owner of Beeson Editing Services, LLC based in St. Louis, MO. I have been an avid reader all my life and am familiar with many genres. I have a B.A. in English Education and am familiar with the entire process of writing and editing a book including content feedback, grammatical corrections, character development, dialogue, and suggested formatting changes. I can also help you with the publishing process from the proposal to the final product.

     

    I have worked with published authors including Shaun Sundahl, Brad Elward, A.J. Cartes, Marcus Dawes, Matthew Knegt, and many others. I also have a wide range of skills and experience with various genres such as fiction, non-fiction, crime, paranormal, mystery, children's, argumentative essays, environmental, personal growth, and autobiographies. I love reading new manuscripts from authors, but am also honest with my responses. I am a certified teacher and have a lot of experience with the teaching and coaching side of things, so I can help you along the way.

     

    Along with my coaching and editing services, I will also put you and your book on our website under the "Featured Author" and "Featured Book" sections to help with the marketing aspect in regards to promoting your work.

    Doug Jenkinson

    Meet Doug Jenkinson, author of Magnolia in Ilium. Doug is a published author and loves everything fantasy, mystery, and fun! His latest tale involves twelve-year-old Magnolia Bannister who lives a carefree life aboard her parent's magical steamboat, a vessel that travels half-in, and half-out of, the domain of men and women.


    But all that is about to change when her parents hand her an emerald-green envelope with spidery golden writing on it. It's an announcement from Gryndells, a prestigious school for magician children in Ilium, telling her that she has been enrolled in school there.

    Magnolia sends sparks flying, but when she meets a three-hundred-year old magician who gives her a special ring and tells her that "things won't go so well" in Ilium if she doesn't accept it, Magnolia's curiosity takes hold and she has a change of heart.

    Shaun Sundahl

    A BOOK WRITTEN BY A POLICE OFFICER, FOR A FELLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

    Each year, hundreds of current, former, and retiring law enforcement officers, attempt the transition to private or non-sworn investigator employment. Although the officer may have excelled in his or her former career, starting one's business is challenging. More challenging, is having to function in the private sector without the same resources and authority law enforcement traditionally has — the National Crime and Information Center, the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS), the ability to arrest for impeding an investigation, the cooperation that is generally received when one is a sworn officer, a helicopter, a team of undercover investigators, and a dispatcher.

    Shaun E. Sundahl

    Author and Private Investigator

    In the 2014 edition of my book, The California Legal Investigator, many of my colleagues have said great things about my book's content, but criticized the grammar, syntax, punctuation, and the clarity. So, in late 2017, I hired Jessica Beeson from Beeson Editing to do a final edit on my manuscript to fix those problems.

    Those who know me, know that I don't "sugar coat" reviews and this review is no exception. Jessica's pricing was a little higher than other freelance editors who worked on my book, but her prices were lower than brick and mortar copyediting companies. The saying of "you get what you pay for" holds true and Jessica's work was exceptional.

    Overall, I saw value in Jessica's work and I would recommend her service to anyone who appreciates the work of a professional editor.

    As of October 30, 2017, my book hit #1 on Amazon's Kindle Legal Section. Sometimes throughout the day it will shift to #2 or #4, but that's not too bad considering there are over tens of thousands of books on Kindle. Again, thank you to Jessica and her company for making this happen!!

    Author of Thanks Uncle Sam

    "I’d like to thank my coach, Mrs. Jessica Beeson. Jessica took my random thoughts I had initially written and helped turn them into a product I can be proud of. She is an amazing writing coach even when I wasn't the best client. She was patient, clear, honest, and efficient. I honestly felt like she saw how my vision would look even before I could grasp it. Thank you Jessica for helping make this dream a reality! If you aspire to write a book, I’d contact her to get started."

    Author of New Beginnings

    "Jess took my book and turned it into a masterpiece. I cannot recommend her enough! She is amazing! She was kind, honest, and really helped me heal through grief while writing my story. After I lost my wife, I was bitter, angry, and hateful. She not only helped me tell my story, but she listened...and that's what I needed. "
