"Working with Jen was a delightful process. She confidently navigated me through developmental editing to ready my book for pitching to publishers. She listened well and understood my goals and interests. It was such a pleasure working with Jen, and I look forward to working with her again on my next book project. I highly recommend Jen if you are writing a book and want to partner with a supportive and knowledgeable guide."
Rachel, Oregon
author of God in Me
"I am so grateful to have met Jen Knox on my writing journey!
The more I got to know Jen, the more I wanted to work on my book with her.
She is efficient, positive, knowledgeable, community-oriented, and supports womxn writers with clear passion and natural leadership."
Sarah Poet, TEDx speaker
"Working with Jen is amazing! She is supportive, succinct, and really provides feedback and direction so you can take your work to its highest level."
Seema Jot, Washington
author of The Moose is Loose on the Palouse
"If you're serious about growing as a writer, you should certainly consider hiring Jen Knox as your writing coach.
Though I hold a BA in Creative Writing and a minor in Playwriting from a reputable writing program, Jen's coaching has been a great resource for me. Her no-nonsense approach, sage advice, thoughtful feedback, and considerable knowledge of all things writing has truly helped me exceed my writing goals.
If you're ready to take your writing to the next step, I recommend giving her a call today."
JP, Texas
"Jen coached me through the completion of my collection of short stories. She is a great teacher and very precise. With her positive feedback and encouragement, I was able to finish the book.
I highly recommend her coaching services."
Upen, Ohio
author of Love in Tuscany
"I've been figuratively barricaded behind a self-imposed wall, unable to let out art... Even avoiding guided meditations, and a lot of things I need yet am afraid to be present to and with. And, with Jen's meditation, I legitimately just did an art therapy charcoal sketch! It that was insightful and also not what I expected to show up."
Brandi, Washington
"Jen’s feedback on my writing has been instrumental in propelling me forward and believing in my own voice. She has helped me find my strengths and encouraged me to press further into the terrain of writing. This is the first time in my life where I feel confident to say, I’m a writer!"
