Please browse below to see a sample of the romance books that I’ve been privileged to edit over the years.
I’ve also had the opportunity to work with bestselling romance authors, including Andie J. Christopher and Kelly Moran.
Cindy Dorminy
“Jenn was my very first content editor and she set the bar high. Every suggestion she offered made my manuscript so much better. If not for her positive attitude, her patience with a newbie, and her uncanny ability to point out exactly what needed to be said without ripping my fragile author's heart out, I would have given up a long time ago. She is someone you want in your corner.”

“What impressed me the most about Jennifer was her capacity to dig into my book until she knew my characters better than I did. If you’re looking for a developmental editor you can stop searching. Jennifer has an innate talent to delve into GMC and make it work.”

“Regardless of where you are in your writing career, Jennifer can help make your manuscript better. She gave expert guidance on what needed to be improved in my books, and led me to delve deeper into the characters. She gently pushed me to take each story to the next level with her thoroughness. She's professional and prompt and I highly recommend her.”

Rebecca Crowley
“Jenn is, in my view, the ideal editor: sharp-eyed, constructive, conscious to preserve an author's voice and, perhaps most importantly, never hesitant to offer positive feedback — a balm for the author's sensitive soul during the editing process! In particular Jenn has helped me with writing internal conflict, to the point I can see a marked improvement across the three manuscripts we've worked on together. I would wholeheartedly recommend her, especially for authors looking for nuanced, thoughtful editorial input.”

Andie J. Christopher
“I’ve worked with Jennifer on seven books, and she has consistently helped me to improve my writing through her meticulous attention to my words. Her suggestions are spot on, and her cheerleading has given me the courage to take risks in my storytelling. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”

Kelly Moran
“I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Herrington on a book series with Kensington and she was the best. Friendly, prompt, approachable, and knowledgeable. Most of all, she got me as a writer. Really got me, and that's hard to find in this market. She never messed with my voice, was gentle in criticisms, and was vocal on praise. I couldn't recommend her more.”

Author of the Redwood Ridge series
Maggie Dallen
“I couldn't have asked for a better editor. She has an excellent grasp of story arcs, plot beats, and what makes a novel work. With every book she has helped me to flesh out the characters and to heighten the tension and conflict to ensure the story is as fully developed as it can be. She has an innate knack for pointing toward areas that need help—giving helpful suggestions without telling the author what to do. More than anything, I continue to learn and grow as an author thanks to Jennifer's guidance and input.”

“When I handed over my manuscript to Jennifer, I knew there were parts of my story that weren't quite right, but I didn't know why. She spotted every problem and directed me toward a fix. She was key to making my book so much better than I thought it could be. Working with Jennifer made me a better writer.”

"I had three books proofread back to back with this editor. She was consistent, detailed, and caught a lot of surprising things that had slipped by multiple editors and readers over the years. Friendly communication and always on time. I've already booked my next project with her!"

“Discovering an editor who is the model of professionalism and who also “gets” your voice is both a privilege and a pleasure. I found that exact experience with Jennifer as she brought her skills to work polishing the books of my Players series. Of course, it helps that she’s a rocking football fan, which only makes me love her even more as I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship full of future projects.”
