Jana Spooner – Editor

Writer and editor with 10 years of freelance experience, specializing in Christian non-fiction and Bible studies.

Overview

I have worked in Christian publishing since 2013. I have worked primarily as a freelance editor, but I started as a full-time Acquisitions Editor at B&H Publishing with women's trade books. While at B&H, I worked directly with high-level Christian authors including Candace Cameron Bure and Lauren Chandler. I have worked on projects (either writing or editing) for a variety of authors including Russell Moore, Jackie Bledsoe, Annie Downs, and others.

I have worked as a freelance writer and editor since 2014. As a writer, I have published devotions, magazine articles, online articles, and just completed my first YA fantasy novel. As an editor, I have worked with both high-level authors and first-time authors. My editing experience includes Bible studies, trade books, devotionals, articles, and more. My speciality is working with authors who are just getting started. The keyword of working with me is flexibility! I take every project I work on and make sure it is a unique experience for that author.

I loved working with Jana! She kept me in the loop on progress and when I could expect the edits. I appreciated her suggestions on the making the manuscript more cohesive more than just the grammatical errors. I really appreciated her enthusiasm for the project as well!

I was so lucky to get Jana to work with me on editing my first book. She did a wonderful job in catching my errors and giving me suggestions too. She answered all my emails and continued to support me as I reviewed my edited work. I would highly recommend her services. And I will use her services again, as I am already pondering my second book. Thank you for everything Jana! Francis Hawkins
