Whenever I’m stuck on an essay, or I’m wondering if I have a solid story to share, Jody Mace has helped me navigate the journey. She is honest and forthright in her reviews, but most importantly, she offers specific suggestions to help you revise your work. And her edits are always spot on! In every case, Jody’s comments and suggestions have helped elevate my writing to the next level. She truly is an essay goddess who not only has a solid grasp of the genre, but also a wicked sense of humor that she brings to her own writing.

Jody Mace is the ‘essay whisperer.’ She has the uncanny knack of finding the beauty (and humor) in both the curious and mundane–and somehow, in her sublime work, finds the answers to all manner of questions that you never even knew you were so desperate to ask.

I absolutely adore Jody Mace’s work, and I have no idea why she’s not a household name. Her writing is funny and smart and then, when you least expect it, she knocks you sideways.
