Prepare
to get published
Need help getting your book project published? I’m just the publishing pro to help! I most recently spent six years acquiring bestselling titles and leading the adult publishing program with a Penguin Random House publisher. In addition, I have been an editor, consultant, and a New York Times bestselling author (I’ve published more than 25 books). Suffice to say, I have a treasure trove of industry intel to share with any writer interested in developing a nonfiction manuscript or book proposal. Please reach out if you need help with any of the following on your path to publication:
- Editing or polishing your manuscript
- Crafting a thorough and compelling proposal
- Building the right platform to connect with your target reader
- Researching publishers to find the right fit
- Drafting a kickass query letter sure to pique the interest of agents and editors
What People Say
“Jen is magic. She has a knack for developing, shaping, and honing big, complex ideas into manageable narratives and outlines. She makes anything seem possible with her far-reaching vision and finger on the pulse, which helps her know what audiences want way before they do.”
—Taha Ebrahimi, bestselling author of Street Trees of Seattle
“Working with Jen has been the highlight of our book-writing career! Jen believes in her authors in a way that is both sincere and supportive, which brings out the best in the partnership and the work. She put her trust in us as we ventured into book-making together as young, first-time authors and helped us bring our vision to life while somehow making the process feel fun, approachable and like we had a real partner in both the small details and the big picture plan. Jen has been our rock; solid, smart, funny, thoughtful and devoted to creating high quality, meaningful publications. It has been a big honor to have her on our team.”
—Salmon Sisters Emma Teal Privat and Claire Neaton, authors of The Salmon Sisters Harvest & Heritage
“Working with Jen was an absolute dream—her unwavering support and keen editorial eye turned my words from mere pages to pun-filled adventures that popped with personality. She not only championed our work from the get go but made sure every sassy line shined, always going above and beyond to ensure our books were successful. She also sends great cat memes, which is an underrated skill in an editor.”
—Eden Dawn, bestselling author of The Portland Book of Dates and The Seattle Book of Dates
