What My Clients Say

  • "As my writing coach, Jessie Fein, took my story and guided me, chapter by chapter, showing me how to bring it to life. She encouraged me every step of the way and uncovered the writer in me. Jessie believed in me before I believed in myself. I am a member of the Jessie Fein Fan Club."

    Susan A.

  • "Jessie and I have been working together for nearly 5 months. I can say, unequivocally, it's the best darn move I made! Jessie has phenomenal energy and passion which lifts me up. I want to be my best self around her! That's priceless. And then there's her skill as a writer, editor, and coach. I'm leveling up my game (and my writing!) every time we interact. I have pretty high standards as a coach myself and I can tell you she knocks it out of the park. Quick, smart, kind, oh so lovely. Only a few of the many words I could use to describe Jessie!"

    Linda P.

  • “Working with Jessica Fein has made all the difference in me actually feeling like a writer. I've had writing goals for years—decades, if I'm honest—but I always pushed them down on my to-do list. Enlisting her help was exactly what I needed. Within the first month, I completed two personal essays, both of which have been accepted for publication! I highly recommend her—she'll hold you accountable, give you deadlines, and provide exceptional feedback.”

    Heather S.

  • "In the process of writing a memoir, I had a lot of feedback. After a while, the heart of the story I was telling seemed to be lost somewhere in the pages of the manuscript. With Jessie’s feedback, I had an epiphany, reminding me of why I decided to write this work. Not long after I implemented her suggested changes, I received an offer of publication! I highly recommend her editorial and coaching work."
