Jennifer L. Morgan

As the principal editor at JM Editorial, I work with individuals, corporations, and publishers (including educational publishers and university presses) to help make their material clear, consistent, concise, and engaging. I specialize in book-length projects, by single authors or by multiple authors, and am careful to ensure coherence across the breadth of multi-chapter manuscripts.

I bring more than 20 years of freelance editing experience in diverse topics to every project. Check out my list of past projects—or ask me about sage-grouse conservation, NASA-funded microgravity research, gifted education, integrated lesson planning, the sociology of weddings, the history of French cheese, or ancient Greek philosophy!

In the age of AI, spell check, and Grammarly, you may be wondering why you need JM Editorial to review your work. It’s important to remember that tools can be useful if skillfully applied, but there is no replacing the human touch (and eye) for polished, engaging, sparkling prose.

What does JM Editorial offer?

• Meticulous attention to detail to ensure your manuscript is the best it can be.
• Dedication to maintaining the author’s voice while streamlining and refining text to enhance appeal to readers.
• Extensive knowledge of standard style manuals (e.g., APA, CMS, MLA) and experience with following and developing custom style guides.
• Ability to tailor the level of proofread or edit as desired, ranging from a strict proofread (cold read or version comparison) with only outright errors identified to a substantive edit at the sentence, paragraph, or whole-document level.
• Thorough resource checking and fact verification.
• Supportive communication with the author to clarify any issues that arise and work collaboratively to find solutions.
