Meet Jillian Roman
I work to refine your content and eliminate the barriers that prevent you from successfully completing your project, meeting your goals, or achieving your mission—your ideas, illuminated.
I have always enjoyed the process of crafting words that persuade, intrigue, and compel the reader. My passion for reading and writing carried me through law school (Temple University Beasley School of Law, 2008) after I received my BA in American Studies (Dickinson College, 2004).
In 2023, I obtained a Certificate in Copyediting from the University of California San Diego, Division of Extended Studies, and in 2024, Roman Editorial was launched.
I bring fifteen years of collaborative editing and writing experience to Roman Editorial. I began my legal career as a clerk to the Honorable Carol E. Higbee of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County, a talented jurist who presided over incredibly accomplished litigators. As a law clerk, I began to refine my editing abilities through the application of the Judge’s perspective and distinct style.
As a trial attorney, I continued to develop as an editor while regularly partnering with experts in the fields of finance, construction, insurance, engineering, hospital administration, and medical device design, among others. I worked hand-in-hand with doctors from all disciplines, from orthopedic surgeons to family medicine practitioners, to ensure their reports and recommendations were persuasive, fact-based, and unimpeachable. I regularly collaborated with organizations on complex briefs and memoranda, including public pension and union funds seeking to recover losses in securities and shareholder litigation.
As a member of a law firm, I also helped run a small business. I have edited and written blogs that served as components of critical marketing campaigns. I have edited staff policy manuals while serving as human resources director. I have worked through the night to edit complex appellate briefs with multiple authors that sought to defend multimillion-dollar jury verdicts.
