Jacquelin Cangro
With nearly twenty years of experience at Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster, I am a veteran developmental editor, creative writing instructor, and book coach. I provide guidance, feedback, and accountability for dedicated fiction writers. Now, as an independent developmental editor and book coach, I review novel manuscripts in many genres, including historical, YA, women’s fiction, romance, and upmarket, providing writers with feedback to revise their stories.
I’ve helped hundreds of gifted writers work toward their writing goals, take their stories to the next level, and polish their prose.
- Writers who need one-on-one guidance, support, and accountability.
- Writers who want to expand their understanding of the craft to take their stories to the next level.
- Writers who benefit from honest feedback to polish their prose.
- Writers who know they have an important story to share with the world but are unsure about the first steps.
As an author myself, I know how hard it can be to review my own manuscript with an objective eye. I provide one-on-one manuscript editing and writing coaching/consulting with honest, constructive feedback about what is working and what isn’t. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. I treat each manuscript as if it were my own, giving it the time and attention it deserves.
I teach creative writing at GrubStreet and The Loft, and I have presented workshops at writing conferences around the world. You can learn more about me here.
Please contact me to discuss your project. I look forward to hearing from you!
