Welcome to My Writing and Editing ExperiencesI graduated from Brigham Young University–Idaho in 2012 with a degree in English and an emphasis in creative writing and editing. I recently moved to McKinney, TX, with my husband, three children (a 6-year-old girl, a 4-year-old boy, and a 2-year-old girl), two crazy dogs, and a cat.
As of June 2021, I'm a regular bimonthly contributor to the writing tips blog for Scribbler, a company designed to help and provide opportunities for writers. My articles can be accessed here. My ultimate goal is to become a published YA contemporary fantasy author. I am currently querying my debut novel, the first in a planned series, and working on draft two of the second book in the series. I'm also new to the social media world and I'm trying to establish an online presence. My Twitter and Instagram handle is @delandjessica, so please follow me to learn more about what I'm up to on a daily basis! For the fun stuff, I'm an avid reader, a car karaoke enthusiast, a fan of select anime, a watcher of movies, a lover of games both in board form and electronic (particularly co-op ones I play with my wonderful and supportive husband), an amateur crocheter, an occasional baker, a novice seamstress, an infrequent fine artist, a closet adventurer, and too many other things to list. This website is currently dedicated to my past experiences with writing, publishing, and editing. It will eventually feature more of my current works of fiction as I gain more experience in the field, but for now, feel free to look around or send me a message if you would like to sync up. |
