Jacqueline W Asheeke
Jacqueline Wilson Asheeke (jackiewilsonasheeke.com), or Jackie, is currently a freelance editor (copy and developmental for fiction) experienced in AP, the Chicago Manual of Style, adobe editing tools, and Google Docs. She is also the author of unpublished fiction novels, a tourism blog (aetcnamibia.blogspot.com), and a proofreader. She works as an editorialist at the Windhoek Observer, submitting products remotely. She was Senior Editor for this paper, print and online editions, and the newspaper’s online magazine in Namibia from 2015-2021 (observer24.com.na). She has worked on recent editions of the rebranded magazine since April 2023.
She was an Editor at Casemate Publishers in Havertown, PA, in 2022, with more than ten books she edited available on Amazon. Jackie has worked freelance as a final editor and proofreader with several independent authors, including African Women in Digital Spaces: Redefining Social Movements on the Continent and in the Diaspora, written and compiled by Msia Kibona Clark and others in 2021. She co-edited the Namibian National Archives Footprint series, including Walking the Boeing 707 by Lydia Shaketange and Tears of Courage, Five Mothers, Five Stories, One Victory by Ellen Namhila.
Jackie edits works of fiction but also biographies and autobiographies, regardless of length, depth, and genre. However, she would avoid children’s books and horror stories (*she saw The Night of the Living Dead in High School and never recovered from the experience). She rages against the commercial story-grinding mainstream publishing machine that wants books to resemble emails. Her prices are affordable and flexible for the starving authors out there. She loves series books, historical fiction, outputs from mature writers who want their stories to live on, and those with an expanded range of topics for books, short stories, and creative writing pieces about people of color.
She has an MA in International Affairs from American University, School of International Service in Washington, DC, and a BA in international studies from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. Jackie has written, edited, or proofread thousands of books, articles, speeches, reports, media releases, presentations, online posts, blogs, and essays. She would avoid manuscripts on mathematics, missile systems, and medical topics but invites books and creative short stories about elves, dragons, sword fights, magical realism, love, arrogant bunny rabbits, and unknown stories of ordinary people who enjoyed their lives. Writing something informative or enriching to leave for generations yet to come is a great gift.
Jackie lived in Africa for a long time and has visited over 45 different countries, but she is now at home and finally doing what she loves to do.
