Meet Our Team

Our editors are all professing, born-again Christians who have trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior. This is where we start. We are, first and foremost, Christians.

Whether you are a published author or just finished your first work, you need an experienced editor who can polish your story and prepare it for publication. For most people, having a published work is a dream come true. Some of our editors are also published authors, and we know how good it feels to see our work in print. We also know how essential a good editor is to the process. This is where our team comes in.

We are freelance Christian editors who specialize in Christian themed works. Editing is a ministry for us. We are of the mindset that there is not enough Christian literature available and we want to see that change. After all, as Christian authors, you have a message. You have something to say. Better than that, though, you have biblical and spirit-filled answers–real answers to real problems. Our goal is to help Christians get their message into the hands of those who would most benefit from it. Editing is part of that process.

Here at Affordable Christian Editing, we make sure your message isn’t lost in the text.

Christ-Centeredness is a way of life!

Jessica Marshall

Editor | Author

Jessica Marshall is a writer and editor from Stillwater, Oklahoma. She grew up as an evangelist’s kid, traveling the United States (and seven foreign countries) with her parents and nine siblings in a 40-foot MC8 Greyhound bus. From her perch at the bus window, she observed people and fell in love with nature’s beauty.

At a youth camp one summer when she was a young girl, she accepted Christ as her Savior. At the age of twelve, she dedicated her life to God’s service at another camp her family attended.

For fourteen years, Jessica was the communications coordinator for her family’s ministry–writing blog posts, outbound emails, and managing promotional materials. She attended Pensacola Christian College, where she graduated with a B.A. in English with a concentration in professional writing.

She loves hearing people’s stories and telling them in creative ways. Some of her stories appear in The Global Baptist Times, where she works as a volunteer writer and editor. She has also been published in Answers in Genesis.

One of Jessica’s passions is to help Christians publish books that influence today’s culture. She has been editing and proofreading for six years. In her work with authors, she seeks to find a balance between polishing the work and maintaining the writer’s true voice.

In her spare time, she teaches private music lessons and tutors students in English and Creative Writing. She’s learned to adapt to Oklahoma’s wild tornadoes and poisonous spiders, and now drinks her coffee like a true cowboy: black. When she’s not reading or writing, she’s soaking in the beautiful Oklahoma sunsets.
