ABOUT JENNY

Welcome! I'm a French American writer and editor based in the Pacific Northwest. 

I'm the editor of No Contact, an anthology about family estrangement, forthcoming from Catapult (April 2026). I write essays, author profiles and interviews, and book reviews. My work appears in a variety of publications, including The Boston Globe, The Seattle Times, The Rumpus, CrimeReads, Chicago Review of Books, Under the Gum Tree, Hippocampus Magazine, Room, and the anthology Sharp Notions: Essays from the Stitching Life, and has received support from residencies at In Cahoots and Mineral School. I am represented by Martha Wydysh at Trident Media Group.

I edit fiction and creative nonfiction. Since 2015, my work has centered around developmental and line editing. My editorial approach is rooted in honesty and compassion, and I have an excellent track record with happy clients. I'm an alumna of the editing program at the University of Washington, where I was professionally trained in all levels of editing. My career includes extensive project management experience in publishing, advertising, and marketing. I provide editorial management expertise to organizations like the Artful Editor agency. Formerly I was managing editor of Literary Mama and Quiltfolk magazine. 

I'm a frequent writing instructor and presenter at libraries, bookstores, universities, and conferences around the Pacific Northwest. I served on the editorial board for Voices of Tacoma and previously volunteered on the editorial committee for Creative Colloquy. 

I hold a master's degree in sociocultural anthropology from Columbia University in New York, and a bachelor's degree in film from the University of Texas at Austin.​ I grew up in France and moved to the United States as a teenager. I currently reside in beautiful Tacoma, Washington, with my husband and three children.
