Hi, I'm Jenny.
I am a published writer of nonfiction and a literary editor specializing in memoir and fiction.
Since 2015, I've worked as an editorial freelancer with a variety of clients: first-time authors, magazine writers, editors, professors, quilters, and more.
Below you can read about my approach, background, and education.
My Background
My career includes a decade of project management in advertising, marketing, and film production. Project management honed my organization and collaboration skills. Marketing taught me the impact of clear communication. Film production was both exacting in budget and time constraints and exhilarating in terms of team work.
For several years when my children were born, I was self-employed as a textile artisan and wrote a popular sewing blog called Stumbles & Stitches. My mother and grandmothers always had a needle in hand when I was growing up; stitching felt genetic. That work led to publications in craft books and a stint as managing editor for Quiltfolk magazine.
I write creative nonfiction in prose and poetry. My work has been published in Room magazine and more. The craft of language has been woven throughout my career.
