Who Are We Jones Publishing and Enterprises (JP&E) is a company that publishes an online magazine, books and tools for spiritual and holistic growth, music/poetry content, live broadcasts and web documentaries. JP&E also specializes in editing and editorial services. The owner, Nia Jovan Andrews, is the overseer of all manuscript editing projects. We focus primarily on urban-fiction, memoirs and spiritual novel manuscript submissions exclusively for editing. Our strength is in copyediting (structural), line editing (consistencies), content editing (facts) and proofreading. We see a manuscript all the way through until it is ready for print. We coach authors in their writing process, advise on intellectual properties and set-up a focus group of readers to critique the manuscript prior to the final-copy being sent to the publisher or to print. We also provide various editorial services, Intellectual Property consulting and registration assistance with copyrights and trademarks (see pp. 4 – 6). As a company, it is our mission to expose the greatness of everyday people. Our vision is to begin to peel back the layers in order to expose the greatness that is on the inside of all of us, but most importantly within our youth and young adults. The focus in 2014 is on personal development and claiming ownership of the issues we individually bring to relationships that cause friction and division; applying journalism techniques in Chicago's youth development in Reading/English criteria through the implementation of Common Core; finally, engaging with overlooked communities to strategize on small business ideas. As a service provider in publishing this mission will assist us in what is highly importantly, which is garnering the partnerships and relationships of authors, businesses and corporations that are community builders and rebuilders who are interested in reaching people and transforming lives.
