Kirkland Composition & Copyediting (KCC) is a Chicago-based writing and editing services firm that crafts engaging, accurate writing that pays for itself.

My name is Jennifer, and I am a full-time professional writer and editor with more than 10 years of experience writing original, creative, persuasive content online and in print, for leading publishing companies, national governing bodies, major corporations, small businesses, and solo entrepreneurs, throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

Bringing together my fascination for the technical and creative realms of language and art into one program, I completed my BA with concentrations in both English Language and Literature and Fine Arts. After earning my degree, I accepted a position as Copyeditor for a major publishing company in Austin, TX. I then chose to broaden my professional and personal horizons and realize a lifelong dream of living in Germany. From 2002 to 2004, I taught English as a Second Language (ESL) for numerous international companies in Stuttgart, became fluent in German, and took on my first freelance writing projects for European organizations and individuals.

Shortly after moving back to the US in 2004, with a taste for shaping my own global business and future, I started my writing and editing services business, and I have been happily improving and expanding it ever since!

My mission is to:

1. Help clients succeed, by crafting engaging, accurate writing that powerfully communicates the message, promotes ideas, and boosts sales of products and services
   
2. Encourage sustainable growth, by providing continuous input on branding, concepts, tone, and direction
   
3. Facilitate ease of communication, by creating a pleasant business atmosphere
   

Here are the top 5 reasons you can’t afford not to hire me to write or edit your next project:

1. I am professional, reliable, and responsible, and I turn projects around quickly.
   
2. My writing and editing are both accurate and artful. I delight in creating content that is both creative and technically sound.
   
3. I invest the energy and effort to get to know you and your business closely, saving you time and money.
   
4. I offer a lifetime guarantee on every nonrecurring writing project. If the copy doesn’t work, I’ll rewrite it until it does—at no extra charge to you.
   
5. I offer a terrific value. My writing and editing is designed to pay for itself.
