Hi, I’m Jennie. I’m a literary agent, copywriter, history nerd, occasional book blogger and bookseller, recovering lawyer, tarot aficionado, rockhound, and embroidery hobbyist from San Francisco. I represent children’s literature across all genres and have worked in the publishing industry since 2013. Before that, I practiced criminal defense law, and before that, I researched medieval death and resurrection symbolism in tomb sculpture, alchemy, torture, and execution methods. (It’s surprisingly more uplifting than you might imagine!) I have made friends with all my neighborhood crows and constantly worry they’re about to figure out how to use the doorbell.
In a perfect world, I would have all the time and money to travel, roller skate, cook ridiculous meals, develop themed cocktails and hunt down the vintage glassware of my dreams. Since this isn’t a perfect world, I try to do those things in between agenting, copywriting, and fighting the ongoing battle against clutter. (It is hard to pass up turquoise, sparkly, or skull-shaped things. And we won’t talk about my tarot/oracle deck collection…unless you want to.)
I am the editorial (and legal/tarot/San Francisco consultant) half of J.J. Fury, an author/editor/friend duo writing modern pulp/noir mystery novellas. My writing has appeared on Forever Young Adult, where I was an editor/contributor for almost a decade, as well as Birth.Movies.Death., Shipwreck, and thousands of business and law firm websites.
