Jenny is a true professional. I've worked with Ms. Gehlhar on many book projects. She has great attention to detail and is prompt and accurate in all aspects of her work. If every book editor was as conscientious and easy to work with as Jenny, life would be so much smoother and better! I'd would jump on any chance to work with her on whatever project she's focusing on.

To whom it may concern: It is my great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Jennifer Gehlhar. I have had the opportunity to hire her often on a freelance basis for the past four years.

Her ability to handle multiple projects from multiple clients in multiple industries has been a fantastic asset. Jennifer’s close attention to detail and creative writing skills along with her strong interpersonal and communication skills have allowed her to develop good working relationships with both colleagues and management.

Always one to pay attention to the smallest details, Jenny Gehlhar is a pleasure to work with. She can be relied upon to remain focused—not only on the text, but also on her deadlines and her level of professionalism—throughout every project. She is open to collaboration and discussion at any level and openly willing to take direction whenever it is given. I have come to count on Jenny to tackle the most complex of (single- or multi-round) edits and proofreads with care, producing manuscript-specific style sheets that impress each of the authors she works with.

Jenny is wonderful to work with! She's detail-oriented but never micro-managing, and is great at laying out clear communications and expectations up front. She is quick to respond to questions and always receptive to new ideas. Jenny is resolutely solution-oriented and is an agile problem-solver and quick thinker. I always feel confident that Jenny trusts my decisions and believes in the quality of my work--and I hold her opinion in extremely high regard. She's the very, very best.

Having Jennifer as my editorial assistant at Guitar World and Revolver magazines was a great and memorable experience. She demonstrated excellent editorial skills and talents as well as a strong work ethic. My previous assistants typically sat around waiting for work to be brought to them, but Jen showed up each day asking what needed to be done and proving herself on a variety of tasks, including proofreading, copy editing and writing. She was a hard worker and handled assignments with professionalism. Her musical background came in handy too, particularly when, while proofreading Guitar World, she caught an error in a transcription that our highly skilled music department had missed—one small but significant bit of musical notation in a page dense with words and music. I can only imagine what talents she’s developed in the years since we worked together.
