…. My book, a rather unwieldy synthesis of theatre history, existential philosophy, and practical advice for actors and directors, had taken me more than 20 years to write, and was in rather desperate need of a skilled editor when I went looking for one. I began by asking a friend and leader in my field, P. Carl (Arts Emerson), who might be a good fit for me. He offered only one name: Jayne Benjulian. I am grateful to Carl and immensely grateful to Jayne for her expertise, support and friendship. – Jeff Zinn
When Jayne took on my development-editing project, I had been in the thralls of writing revision after revision of a memoir manuscript, feverishly, pointlessly and to fatigue. She worked from 3 or 4 different manuscripts and several essays and compiled a single manuscript that left me nothing short of DELIGHTED. Where there had been no hope and validation with this particular writing endeavor, there glistens now a publishing opportunity! – Lisa Mae DeMasi
I have had the best few years working with Jayne on my stories. Under her guidance, I started submitting my work. Everything I sent out has been published— it is a thrilling experience. Although I’ve heard the elation about each acceptance lasts only a short time, I’ll keep at it knowing I have Jayne by my side. – Eleanor Windman
Jayne Benjulian is an excellent editor. Precise, thorough, concrete with her insightful suggestions, I would recommend her for anyone who wants an editor with a careful and exacting eye. And, she is a delightful person to work with. Highly recommend! – Marcia Meier
