From Big Dreams to Big Success

(and they all started out with big doubts!)

What other clients have to say…

Featured
Sue Burnell

“Working with Jami is like having a secret weapon.”

– Sue Burnell, “The Leadership Coaching Alligator Handbook”

Cator Sparks

“WARNING: Jami doesn't have dainty discussions or do easy edits. She is the dominatrix of the memoir world, cracking the whip on tenses and digging her heel into grammar until we scream for mercy. And we love her for it!”

– Cator Sparks, magazine writer

Janiss Garza

“Because of Jami's help, my writing is ten times better now.”

– Janiss Garza, “White Line Fever”

“Jami floods the zone with easy-to-grasp details and how-to writing tips. She accentuates her advice for how to organize and present your story with true wit and wisdom.”

— Melody Simmons, journalist

“Always brilliant, insightful, fun and open, Jami gives writers the technical tools, the creative push, and the practical focus to go beyond what they thought possible.”

– Keller Grace, freelance writer

Amy Sue Nathan

“Luckily for me, Jami takes humor seriously. She helped me uncover the hidden punchlines in my manuscript, and her own laugh-out-loud humor makes her easy to follow.”

– Amy Sue Nathan, “Glass Wives”

Rebecca Thatcher Murcia

“Jami Bernard has the charisma of a standup comic, the writing skills of a master, and the insight of Sigmund Freud. She helped me take my writing to a level I never thought possible.”

– Rebecca Thatcher Murcia, “Seeking Saúl”

“Jami Bernard has the unique ability of seeing a piece in its entirety. She has an amazing ear for writer’s voices. Her edits enhance an author’s voice instead of changing it. Her humorous and insightful lessons helped make my prose sing.”

– Christine Koubek, essayist

Griffin Shea

“Jami Bernard edited my work with the kind of tough love that encouraged me to sharpen my writing while teasing out compelling storylines I didn’t know were there. She showed total dedication to helping me reach my goals.”

— Griffin Shea, journalist and founder of Bridge Books

Cara Coslow

“I wanted to write, but I needed a safe environment. Jami gave me much more than that; it was life altering! Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, Jami is the best gift you can give yourself.”

– Cara Coslow, producer, “Dante’s Cove”

“My initial writing attempts were like a preschooler’s self-portrait: My story had a huge distended potato head for a beginning, with a tiny stick body and flailing limbs — until I met Jami Bernard. She is really a writing muse in disguise who is always hard at work, focusing her energies on helping others.”

– Gisela Mojica, artist

“I am an M.A. grad and published author who has taken more writing courses than I’d like to admit. Jami Bernard’s is the only one that showed me how to write well with an eye on the mainstream market. I've been able to apply her toolbox of exercises – working with subtext, narration, dialogue, self-editing – both to fiction and business writing. Most of all, she has helped me find my voice, one that is accessible and true to myself.”

– Christina Gombar, “Great Women Writers 1900-1950”

Kathryn Kemp-Griffin

“Jami Bernard is passionate about writing and about helping other writers find their voice and story. Her knowledge, experience and humor come together to help you write the book you were meant to write — while having fun!”

– Kathryn Kemp-Griffin, “Paris Undressed”
