Welcome! I'm Jennifer Quinlan, but everybody calls me Jenny Q, and I hope you will, too! I provide manuscript editing services to authors of historical fiction and romance. Whether you plan to submit to agents and traditional publishers or you intend to self-publish, I will work with you to make your manuscript the best it can be, paying particular attention to historical detail. I love historical fiction, and I edit across all of its sub-genres including romance, regency, mystery, inspirational, fantasy, supernatural, time travel, steampunk, gay/lesbian, and young adult. And yes, I do occasionally take on non-historical fiction manuscripts. Email me anytime to chat about your project!

I design book covers, too!

With so many authors choosing to self-publish, writers have to work harder than ever before to make their novels stand out from the crowd . . . and that's where I come in. I want to help each of my clients achieve success in publishing, and I use a combination of my historical education and my expertise in editing, marketing, and design to help authors craft polished stories and covers that not only appeal to today's savvy readers, but earn higher sales and critical acclaim, as well. Please browse through my credentials and services and check out my blog, It's All in the Details, for tips, resources, news, and notes on writing and publishing historical fiction. I am also available for research and presentation consultation, and content creation. Drop me a line anytime and we'll chat about your project: jennyq@historicaleditorial.com.
