Who is Refined by Candace?
Well, hello, beautiful! I’m Candace A. Jones, a Jesus-loving freelance editor and graphics designer with a heart for storytelling, a passion for polishing your faith-filled words, and a commitment to breathing beauty and style from cover to page.
I help authors and creatives like you bring clarity to your message and creativity to your brand. Whether fine-tuning your manuscript or designing your book cover, I aim to help your work shine with excellence in every word and beauty in every design.
How it All Started
The public library was one of my favorite places as a child. Reading became a welcome adventure, with fantastic worlds and discoveries awaiting me as the pages turned. Those euphoric journeys added fuel to my already creative imagination. It was only a matter of time before avid reading ignited my passion to help others create new worlds.
As a self-proclaimed logophile, my path to prose and poetry began in the 6th grade thanks to the stories my English teacher prompted us to write, creative or technical, using whatever imagery or wordplay came to mind. I knew that I wanted my writing to make God proud. Therefore, throughout my teenage years, I focused on poetic expressions from heaven that I’d often share with my church.
My Heart in the Details
As you can see, I am passionate about my faith and incorporating my love for Jesus in all that I do. As an author and blogger, I fill my messages with His Words, His way. Now, as an editor, my heart is that every inspirational memoir, devotional, and Christian novel I edit brings glory to His name and inspires others to do the same. If you feel like we’re a good fit for each other, I’d love to be trusted to serve as your editor and/or book cover designer.
Visit my services page for details regarding what I offer. If you have further questions, it’s best to contact me here, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
As a blogger and fellow author, I know the importance of your words. I treat every project with the same dedication I’d give my own because I understand what it means to pour your heart into something and want it to be just right. I am intrigued by our testimonies and various forms of Christian fiction. If your stories align with my heart, and my style fits your desires, I’d love the opportunity to help your work find success.
Candace, the Woman
I’m a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mama of three boys, living happily in the Low Country of South Carolina. I have the pleasure of doing life with the best photographer in the world as my husband, and life is so sweet. I love video and board games with my family, dancing goofily, eating chocolatey goodness, spending time with family, hanging with my girlfriends, eating good food, and simply being.
I am glad to have shared a little of my life with you, and I look forward to helping your Christian story come together and sharing His message refined.
