Jenn McKinlay

Jenn has spoken to groups all over the country. An extrovert, she loves connecting to readers, writers, and others. Frankly, anyone who enjoys a good laugh is her kind of people. She is a favorite of book clubs, writer's groups, libraries, and schools, from elementary through university. She has much to share with those who enjoy the love of books, story telling, and lifetime learning.

Let's Write a Book is a five-part Instagram series. Each episode is twenty minutes long, and Jenn discusses everything from where she gets her ideas to crafting a synopsis to how to write comedy. Super fun! Super informative! Click HERE to check it out!
