Jana Weinstein – Editor

I am an independent content editor offering an integrated range of services, from content and structural development, to line and copyediting, to analytical research and fact-checking, to proofreading. With over a decade of experience, I have edited a wide range of material for a variety of leading book publishers, scholarly journals, media outlets, businesses, websites, and independent authors.

Concentrating in cultural and political studies, literary and media theory, economics and business, and general nonfiction, some of my recent book and journal projects include God & Mammon: Chronicles of American Money, by Lance Morrow (Encounter, 2020); Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging, by Jodi Dean (Verso, 2019); The Dubious Morality of Modern Administrative Law, by Richard Epstein (Rowman & Littlefield, 2020); and the Ethics & International Affairs journal (Cambridge University Press, all issues 2019–2020).

I welcome you to contact me if you’d like to receive a free editing sample on an excerpt from your book, a price quote, and/or an assessment of the type of work that is needed.

AUTHOR RECOMMENDATION FROM A REEDSY COLLABORATION:

"Working with Jana on our book on wealth and succession planning was one of the best decisions we made in producing that book.

We came to her as first-time authors with a manuscript that sits at the intersection of law, psychology, and family dynamics—not an easy editorial assignment. Jana's first contribution was helping us understand what kind of editing we actually needed and what the process would involve. That guidance alone was invaluable; we didn't know what we didn't know.

What followed was thorough, disciplined editorial work that never lost sight of what we were trying to say. She captured our voice, held our intent, and engaged seriously with material that requires genuine intellectual effort to understand. The precision she brought to legally and technically dense material—catching inconsistencies, querying ambiguities, never smoothing over complexity—was exactly what the manuscript required. She asked the right questions at the right moments—not to impose a different vision, but to sharpen ours. After completion of the manuscript, she also shared her vast experience working with publishers—another valuable contribution.

I would work with her again without hesitation."
