Testimonials
I worked with Jacki for five years in various roles at AOL and Huffington Post. As her former editor, I considered her one of our more talented writers. When I offered her project work, she exceeded my expectations, so I moved her into an editorial role. With her meticulously keen eye for detail, I quickly came to rely on her as my go-to source for training and documentation projects. These complex projects led to larger opportunities, eventually landing her an editorial/community liaison role at Seed.com, AOL/HPMG’s crowd-sourced freelancer network and publishing platform.
In an industry where plans can change at a moment’s notice, I considered Jacki our one constant, a most valuable asset when constantly navigating moving targets. She was always professional, reliable, accurate, and consistent — definite qualities important in an editor. But, of course, Jacki is much more than this. Good editors wear many hats: They are coaches, listeners, stylists, intuits, fresh eyes, marketers, and cheerleaders. And they’re ultimately there not to change you, but to make you, your product, and your persona a better reflection of who you are — so that you stand out in the crowd. If this is what you’re looking for, and with dashes of humor and empathy thrown in for good measure, then Jacki can deliver in spades.

It was a great learning experience working with Jacki and Just Edits. As a doctoral student, this was my first time using an editor. Jacki gave me a lot of personal attention with e-mails and phone calls, and I felt she became very intimate with my work. While I was a little nervous putting my work out there for edits, Jacki made me feel like I had done quality work and talked me through all of the changes needed for my paper.

Jacki Donaldson has assisted us with writing and editing projects, client communications, presentations, and she helped us build our company website. For the website project, Jacki took our basic copy and turned it into wording and phrasing options that created a dramatically enhanced final product.

Jacki has a wonderful way with words. Not only is she the most eloquent writer I know, she is the first person I contact when I want to ensure my writing is impeccable for others to read. She’s a grammatical pro and could easily make everyone’s writing better. I trust her with my professional reputation. Easy to work with and always on time, Jacki Donaldson is the best in the business, and I’m thrilled to recommend her for any work she seeks.
