Jennifer Haskin is passionate about helping new authors with their writing journey, as well as achieving their publishing goals. Eight years ago, she learned the ropes of the publishing world as a literary agent for a boutique agency before moving to a New York-based agency (then had to drop out for a string of back surgeries), then she returned as a publishing consultant, helping authors ready their submission materials to get the best shot at the contract of their dreams, and now she works as a professional Reedsy editor, Associate Editor for a small press, and head editor of her own business. Jennifer debuted as a traditionally published author, but she prefers the control of indie publishing. She markets her YA scifi/fantasy/romance fiction novels and non-fiction series "The Journey to a Bestseller" and is always writing a new series. Her website features a blog that's been called "a hidden gold mine of information" for new authors that documents some of her own writing journey with weekly advice on writing, editing, publishing, and marketing. She's been on all sides of the publishing business. She runs a weekly writers' workshop and is honored to be a judge for the annual writing contest Ink & Insights.
