Meet Your Copilots
We’ve been each other’s copilots and “work wives” for most of our careers, having followed each other from HarperCollins to Chronicle Books to Wonderwell. Copilot Publishing is the culmination of our shared passion for books, strong work ethic, devotion to excellence, and deep friendship. (We also love cocktails, oysters, Halloween, Hallmark movies, and karaoke bars.)
Marketing expert Jenn Jensen has been in publishing for more than 17 years and has 18 New York Times bestsellers under her belt—including Mark Manson’s smash hit, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, and award-winning actor John Lithgow’s Dumpty trilogy. She excels at author platform development, campaign strategy and execution, keyword optimization, social media content planning and production, graphic design, and Amazon advertising.
Bestselling editor Eva Avery has nearly a decade of experience working with many acclaimed authors, including John Lithgow, Paulo Coelho, Kim Krans, Mark Manson, Sheleana Aiyana, Daniel Handler, Kat Graham, and Gary Kamiya. She specializes in coaching writers from draft to finished manuscript, proposal development, line-editing, concepting work, and developmental edits in the categories of personal growth, psychology, spirituality, memoir, wellness, travel, activism, humor, and philosophy.
Publishing Consultation
& Strategy
Blending our experience working in Big Five traditional, indie, and hybrid publishing, we offer transparent and supportive consultations to help you find the best publishing path for your book, answer the burning questions about the industry that are keeping you stuck, and identify the best next step you should take to accomplish your goals.
Proposal Development
If you are ready to move your book forward but aren’t sure what your next step should be, what level of support to seek out, or what publishing path is best for you, then a publishing consultation and strategy session with industry veterans can give you clarity and peace of mind. When we worked at traditional publishing houses, we reviewed huge stacks of book proposals every week. We know exactly what agents and publishers are looking for—and what will get tossed right into the slush pile.
