Congratulations to DTR contributor Jennifer Nachtwey, whose chapbook The With-You Season has just been published by Bottlecap Press. Jennifer availed of our manuscript editing service last June to great success. You can purchase your copy of Jennifer’s book here.

Jennifer had this to say about our services.

Working with Neil Slevin has been a wonderful experience. He has a keen eye for poetry and a thoughtful approach to editing. What I appreciate most is that he doesn’t try to change my voice or make a poem into something it isn’t. Instead, he helps me see where a poem can be stronger, where a word might be unnecessary, or where an image needs a little more room to breathe.

Neil is honest, encouraging, and generous with his insight. He respects the poet as much as the poetry, and that makes all the difference. I’ve learned a great deal from working with him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his editing services to other poets.

We look forward to publishing 4 poems from Jennifer’s chapbook on January 15th, 2027.
