Glenn McMahan – Editor

I am proficient with all levels of book editing, including developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading. My editing skills were first honed as a magazine and newspaper journalist. I work extensively with scholarly authors including at Harvard University, Princeton University, U.C. Berkeley, and the University of Toronto (see list below). My books have been published by Harvard University Press, MIT Press, and Endeavor Literary Press, and Upriver Press, to name a few.

As the lead editor at Upriver Press, I am working on seven scholarly nonfiction books that will be released in the summer and fall of 2025. These books, all written by PhDs, will focus on critical issues such as Social Security reform, media literacy and democracy, economic inequality, and the economics of international development, among others.

In April 2023, I completed the developmental editing, copyediting, proofreading and indexing of "Disrupting Racism: Essays by an Asian American Prodigy Professor." This book, published by Endeavor Literary Press, was endorsed by two Nobel Prize-winning economists.

In March 2023, I provided the full index for "A Crash Course on Crises" by Princeton University economist Marcus Brunnermeier, published by Princeton University Press.

In November 2022 I edited and published a beautiful memoir titled "Soldier On: A Woman's Memoir of Resilience and Hope." This book is by an Israeli woman who served in the Israel Defense Forces, became a runner-up in the Miss Israel pageant, and then tragically gave birth to a son with severe disabilities.

In April 2022 Harvard University Press launched "Democratizing Finance: The Radical Promise of Fintech," which I edited for author and Harvard economist Marion Laboure. The book is endorsed by Nobel Prize-winning economists Lawrence Summers and Kenneth Rogoff.

In August 2021 I edited and published "The Resilient Society" by Princeton University economist Markus Brunnermeier. This book made the "Best Books of the Year 2021" list published by the Financial Times in London and was awarded "Best Economics Book 2021" at the Frankfurt Book Fair. It was endorsed by two Nobel Prize winners, Robert Shiller and Angus Deaton.

Also in 2021, I edited "The Pandemic Information Solution: Overcoming the Brutal Economics of Covid-19" (Endeavor Literary Press), by University of Toronto economist and MIT Press author Joshua Gans. I also edited a "In Pursuit of the Almost" by poet Phil Ginsburg.

In July 2021, I edited and published "Writing the Biodrama" by award-winning playwright Dr. Tee O'Neill. The book was endorsed by José Rivera, the Academy Award nominated screenwriter of "The Motorcycle Diaries."

In 2020, I provided the copyediting and proofreading for the MIT Press book titled "Innovation Matters," by Dr. Richard Gilbert, a UC Berkeley economist and former deputy attorney general.

In 2015, I graduated from the University of Denver Publishing Institute. I hold a master's degree in journalism from the University of Maryland and a bachelor's degree in English from Metropolitan State University of Denver.

As a journalist, I worked for the American Journalism Review, Capital News Service, and The Frederick News-Post.
