What
others have said about Jamie Morris:
Jamie
Morris's ability to edit for structure and rhythm are supreme. She tightens and polishes at the sentence level while giving
relevant suggestions about the development and organization of narrative and scenes.
Jamie
also has a special talent for keeping writers enthused about both their writing lives and their projects. Her insight and
intuition have advanced my work tremendously. As coach and editor, Jamie has kept me on course through my first year as a
novelist
--Alan Zemel, fiction writer
Jamie is a genius when it comes
to the process of writing. Whether I'm developing a character or just brainstorming, one hour with Jamie spins off a whole
month's-worth of creativity!

Jamie's guidance
provides fuel to keep my writing moving forward. Whether I'm just beginning a new project, trying to dig my way out of a messy

She has a unique talent --
a sixth sense, really -- that enables her to immediately understand the heart of a piece and respond with constructive, motivational
critique.

When I'm stuck on my self-help
book, the creative energy of my sessions with Jamie gives me a clear sense of direction. She's great!

constructive comments, Jamie gives--most generously--guidance which reflects her depth of experience.
