Penelope Hartley

“Jared is not just a talented editor; no no no. He's a trusted collaborator who consistently goes above and beyond my expectations to make sure even the grittiest passages sparkle in the sun. His dedication to refining storytelling is unparalleled. It's an absolute delight to work with someone so hard-working, generous, and completely fabulous.”
Book Editing (Literary Fiction)
Sean Spence

"Writers are always wary about anyone critiquing their work, but Jared has elevated my scripts with his inciteful (and constructive) criticism. He seems to find those little cracks in the story and fills them with excellent suggestions. If you truly want to enhance your screenplay, having Jared put his eyes on it will do wonders."
Story & Critique Show
Sol Macnamara

"I've sent a few stories to Kauffman, and he's been a tremendous help! I plan on hiring his paid services and not just using the weekly live critique for a small section as soon as possible! This wasn't some industry professional like I encountered at school who was invited to speak with students, this was someone who (while a professional) was more like the average person who's written a book and felt like they had info they could give in a more casual way.”
Story & Critique Show
Darcy Donavan

“He is truly exceptional at his craft and an intelligent, perceptive human being. Jared absorbs the verbal ideas of his clients and brings their messages clearly to the forefront. I would highly recommend him, and I will be using his services again.”

Jared is a great editor, but anyone who watches the Story-&-Critique Show knows that. He has amazing insight and the ability to tactfully provide actionable feedback. His awesome readings bring your story to life!

As a coach, Jared customized the sessions for me. Based on critiques I struggled with clarity and sentence variation. Working together has helped me understand the role of dialogue, interiority, and action better.
When I finish my first novel, I will have Jared Kauffman and his Dragons to thank.
Coaching
Vaughn Vajgrt

“Jared is not only a talented writer and expert, but also a generous and inspiring mentor. He has been encouraging me to work on my writing skills and to pursue my passion. He was very patient with me while I was writing my stories and understood what I was trying to accomplish.”
Coaching
Courtney Stephenson

“Totally reach out! Kauffman is amazing, and the feedback is so helpful, and the amount you get is almost like you’re stealing from him!!!”
Book Editing (Romance)
Eli Minkiewitz

Jared has been a wonderful resource for me as a writer. He has helped me prune and shape my ideas for my story into something that can work as a book. If you have a big idea, or an important idea, or just an idea, Jared will treat it with the same care he treats his own ideas, and will help you nurture it. I can't wait to see where our professional relationship takes me, and I'm very happy to have him in my corner.
Coaching
Calvin Hammond

“I have known Jared for a while, but it was only recently that I decided to try some of his services. I hired Jared to do an alpha read with the hope of helping to develop the story further. He didn't disappoint in any way. Jared was great enough to work with me and, in turn, help me take my story to new heights, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. If you need support, Jared is the one to talk to if you're looking for solid help...”
