Jasmine Faustino
I’m a nonfiction editor with 20 years of experience in book editing, commercial print book and audiobook publishing, as well as podcasting.
I love to help writers craft their narratives and share their stories. I’m an avid reader and a highly-organized, rigorous, compassionate, and collaborative editor. I once had a boss describe me as a “Swiss Army Knife,” which I think fits me well!
I specialize in editing memoir, biography, popular science, social science, history, music, and humor books.
I worked at Macmillan Publishers as a nonfiction editor for over 15 years working closely with authors to perfect their manuscripts. During that time, some of the books I edited went on to become New York Times bestsellers (The First Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch and Big Data Baseball by Travis Sawchik), Amazon Best Books of the Month (Sigh, Gone by Phuc Tran), and Alex Award winners (A Hope More Powerful than the Sea by Melissa Fleming).
Most recently I worked at Pushkin Industries, the audio publisher and podcast network founded by Malcolm Gladwell. I collaborated with audio producers and sound engineers, as well as the business, operations, marketing, and publicity teams to create and promote immersive, sound-rich, and award-winning audiobooks like Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon and Wild and Precious: A Celebration of Mary Oliver.
I also have a sharp pair of eyes and have over 20 years of experience proofreading manuscripts of all genres. I have a strong eye for narrative flow, language, and manuscript structure, and I would love to help you tell your story!
