“Ms Williams' comments were extensive and were extremely insightful and helpful to me. Her scope was especially impressive. She made great stylistic points and equally useful substantive points. Most useful, I think, was her ability to put herself in the shoes of precisely the reader I am hoping to reach, and tell me in crystal clear language what worked and what did not. I took her comments to heart and altered the manuscript accordingly. My readers are better off for her input.”

“Jenny Williams is an amazing person and a brilliant writer and editor. Her editorial insights into Confessions of an Economic Hit Man were extremely valuable in shaping the book during the publishing process. The essays she sent from Africa form an essential part of The Secret History of the American Empire. She has a keen eye for both the details and the big picture. Our writing and editing collaboration continues to this day—I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.”
