Jennifer Herrington – Editor

I’m a passionate, experienced editor and book coach who’s worked with best-selling, award-winning, and first-time authors alike. What drives me most is helping writers create stories they’re genuinely proud of—and guiding them toward the publishing goals that matter to them.

Please note: I’m currently fully booked for book coaching in January and February. If you’re hoping to get started in March, I’d love to hear from you.

I live for love stories in all their forms—from sweet to extra spicy, across every heat level and age category, including young adult, new adult, and adult fiction. I work across most romance subgenres, including contemporary, paranormal, romantasy, romantic comedy, and romantic suspense.

I also have a soft spot for projects where romance plays a strong supporting role, such as women’s fiction, suspense, and cozy mysteries. As a lifelong sports fan and former sports reporter, I especially enjoy working on sports romances and stories featuring athlete protagonists. I’m equally excited to collaborate on dark romance that pushes boundaries, as well as YA fiction that captures the intensity of first love.

Previously, I worked as an editor with Kensington Corporation and interned with Entangled Publishing. I’ve been editing romance and romantic fiction for over a decade and have supported authors at every stage of their careers, offering everything from booking coaching, manuscript assessments to developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading.

I’m also a writer myself, which means I understand how vulnerable—and lonely—the revision process can feel. I’ve experienced criticism that nearly made me walk away from writing altogether. That experience shaped the editor I am today and is why I prioritize a supportive, encouraging, and honest environment where authors can grow with confidence.

Through thoughtful feedback, constructive critique, and a deep understanding of genre expectations, story mechanics, and the current marketplace, I help authors strengthen their manuscripts while preserving their unique voice and vision.

Every author’s journey is different—and I’d love to see if I’m the right fit for yours.
