Genoveva Llosa – Editor

As an editor, collaborator, and editorial consultant, I help authors craft books that matter. After working at HarperCollins, Jossey-Bass, Random House, and Harvard Business School Press, I know just what publishers look for in a manuscript and book proposal—and how to help authors transform their ideas into viable commercial projects.

I bring my deep understanding of the elements of a successful book to every project: sharp positioning, clear audience, smart packaging (title, cover, and copy), perfect timing, and, above all, a compelling, authentic voice. I engage deeply with my authors' books and ideas, providing comprehensive, candid, and constructive edits. My goal is to make the editorial process as enjoyable and productive as possible.

If you need an experienced developmental editor to sharpen your arguments and prose and improve the structure of your manuscript or book proposal—or a collaborator to work alongside you through extensive coaching, editing, and writing—I can help.

My focus is on business books of all kinds; actionable, smart books that help people be more productive in life and work, achieve success in a meaningful way, or acquire new skills (e.g., become a better negotiator; develop stronger relationships); books that discuss women in the workplace or help women balance their personal and professional lives; psychology or behavioral sciences books that aim to help people improve themselves (e.g., become better decision-makers, increase their social capital, become more empathetic, resilient, etc.).
