Editorial Services

I’m Jennifer Becton, a professional proofreader and copyeditor with more than twenty years of experience editing fiction and nonfiction books, essays, marketing materials, business proposals, web content, journal articles, and even an encyclopedia.

I offer proofreading and copyediting services for authors and businesspeople who want to elevate their work to the next level.



Editorial Services for Authors

Are you an aspiring writer or indie publisher who wants a professional editor to help polish your work?

Are you finalizing a short story, novella, or novel for publication?

If so, let Becton Literary Services help you prepare your manuscript.

Let Becton Literary Help You Produce the Best Book Possible

Not only have I copyedited many books written by other authors, but I’m an author too. I’ve written and published more than a dozen books, both fiction and nonfiction. I’ve hired copyeditors and proofreaders to help me perfect my own work. So I know how it feels to have my work critiqued!

My goal is NOT to wield a red pen and carelessly slash words from the manuscript you worked so hard to write. My goal is to help you produce the best book possible.

By the way…if you’re a self-publisher, check out my free series: The Book Business for Indie Publishers.
