Casey Cline – An Island Intrigue – Book 2 in the Bird’s-Eye-View Series
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Jennifer again on the edits for my second full-length novel, An Island Intrigue. Her insightful comments strengthened my manuscript beyond what I could achieve alone, and her support and encouragement sustained me through editing, which is admittedly my least favorite part of the writing process. Our back and forth comment bars often contained humorous asides and uplifting “you can do this!” messages that took the collaboration beyond mere editor-writer. I feel like she truly cares about me and my writing, and is so excited to see the transformation from rough draft to finished product. I am also so grateful she happened to already know so much about guava fruit, as I had that part in my manuscript incorrect in the beginning! I do hope to have the pleasure of working with her again on my third novel, and any future novellas I may self publish. She is a true gem of an editor, mentor, and champion.” July 2026
Casey Cline – Wayfaring Widow – Book 1 in the Bird’s-Eye-View Series
Winner of the Virginia Romance Writers’ 2026 Holt Medallion award for historical romance
“Pairing excellent feedback with empathetic assistance, Jennifer knows how to elevate your work and how you feel about your work too. I’m a relatively new author and worked with Jennifer on my first full-length novel, The Wayfaring Widow. In the 10 weeks of our back-and-forth communication on my manuscript, I learned so much about strengthening my writing and how to recognize common mistakes and errors. These invaluable skills will translate to my future work as well. Equally important, Jennifer was always ready with an encouraging word. She’s a writer herself, so she knows the mental strain and second guessing that often comes during revision. Whether it was a quick text or a comment in the sidebar of how she loved a particular part of the manuscript, these communications buoyed me during the often difficult editing process. With Jennifer’s assistance, I came to discover joy in editing. I can’t wait to work with her on the next two books in the series.” June 2025

Deena Adams – Stronger Than the Storm – Book 1 in The Holbrook Family Series
Named a five-star Reader’s Favorite
Christian Market Book Awards Finalist (Contemporary category)
Firebird Awards 1st Place Winner (Religion Fiction category)
“Working with J.L. Burrows as the content editor for my first novel, Stronger than the Storm, was
one of the most rewarding experiences in my writing process as a debut author. Over the two
months we spent working through my manuscript, Jennifer’s feedback was consistently
encouraging, even as she gently led me toward real, substantive improvements. Her expert
editorial advice sharpened the story in ways I couldn’t have achieved on my own.
Stronger than the Storm released April 28, 2026 and has since been named a five-star Reader’s
Favorite and a finalist in the Christian Market Book Awards (Contemporary category) and won
first place in the Firebird Awards (Religion Fiction category). I credit much of my book’s
success to Jennifer’s insight and care during our editing process.
I’d recommend her without hesitation to any author looking for an editor who is both skilled and
genuinely invested in making your book the best it can be. I hope to work with her again on the
next two books in my series.” July 2026
Deena Adams – author of Stronger Than the Storm
Amy R. Anguish – Fairest Inn All – Book 2 in the Real-Life Fairy Tales Series
“Having worked with multiple other editors in the past, Jennifer has been one of my favorite. She is excellent at finding places to strengthen details, character, back story, and smoothing out wrinkles, all without changing the author’s voice. If it hadn’t been for Jennifer, my evil character wouldn’t have had half the back story and depth that she had, which would have left my whole story much flatter than it ended up. She was easy to work with, even willing to talk things out with me so I could figure out how to implement her suggestions. I’m definitely glad to have her as my editor for my next project too.” July 2026
Editor Mentorship & Coaching
Katelyn Willetts – 8-Week Mentorship Program Created and Designed by Jennifer Burrows in association with Scrivenings Press
“Jennifer was exactly the mentor I needed to learn the craft of editing! She inspired me with her commitment to serving her authors and their stories with everything she has to offer as a highly skilled editor. A natural and passionate teacher, Jennifer gave me practical instruction, real examples, and hands-on experience in editing. She helped me understand and develop my capabilities, providing the feedback and encouragement I needed to grow. I loved every moment we worked together. I’m forever grateful for how she welcomed me into her work and life. Jennifer didn’t just teach me the technicalities of editing; she showed me how to be a better human being. Her mentorship was the key to unlocking my own career as an editor.” July 2026
Author & Book Coaching
Sarah Heatwole – Into the Promised Land
“I met Jennifer a few years ago, soon after I began working on my first manuscript. She invited me to attend a local writer’s group. At the time, I didn’t realize the depth of her knowledge about the publishing
industry and her expertise in content and developmental editing. Over the past two years, Jennifer helped me wade through the weeds of the writing world. She gave me invaluable feedback about my manuscript and helped me craft an intriguing book proposal and a synopsis. Her guidance has helped my first novel find success as a semifinalist and finalist in two contests. Besides being a trusted voice, Jennifer has also become a dear friend and, most importantly, a sister in Christ in whom I confide, pray with, and work with, as we use our given gifts to further God’s Kingdom.” June 2025

Lynnea Mileusnich – Heir of Promise
“The feedback I’ve received has incredibly improved my work. Her knowledge of language makes her line edits thorough and incredibly helpful. Her feedback on my writing has even helped me to better my subsequent initial drafts, too!” June 2025

Amber Mileusnich – “Nott Alone” and “Breaking Into Eden” among other works
“Jennifer’s feedback, on both my novel and my short stories, has been life changing. She doesn’t simply look at your book as a piece of writing but as an extension of you as a person. When she edits and mentors me, it’s with a genuine heart that wants to see me become my best. Every suggestion is coupled with explanation as to why it’s there so that I can learn from my mistakes and write better in the future. In my opinion, this is why Jennifer is far better than other editors of her caliber. She will leave you as an author changed for the better, not simply your book.” June 2025

“Jennifer is a writer’s dream come true for editing and critique. She treated my work with respect, care, and a keen eye. All recommended changes were thoughtful, and the notes made were clear, concise, and professional. I asked for honest feedback, and she delivered. Throughout the process, she provided me with ideas, and her suggested corrections were in line with my voice and writing style. Whether it was grammar, typos, spelling errors, sentence structure, or cracks in the plot, she found them and provided recommended solutions that made sense to me.
