Jenn Lien – Editor

Hello! I’m Jenn, a project editor based in Boulder, Colorado. If your nonfiction book needs developmental editing, copyediting, or editorial assessment, then I’m the editor for you.

Not sure what kind of editing you need? No problem. Let’s find an intuitive approach for your unique project. And if the thought of navigating the book publishing process alone feels daunting, I can help with that too. Together, we’ll map out your publication plan from beginning to end.

BACKGROUND

I began my editorial career at a small press in Santa Barbara, California. I have since transitioned to trade publishing at a Big Five, Hachette Book Group in Boulder, Colorado.

As a project editor, I work in managing editorial to support authors who write bestselling books in the genres of psychology, anthropology, sociology, political science, self-development, and health & wellness. I make it my priority to communicate openly with my authors, build trust and understanding, provide honest feedback, and help them visualize and reach their publishing goals. I believe that balancing hard work with fun and creativity is the best approach to producing quality content. Most importantly, I aspire to help my authors create their best possible work.
