Hi, I’m Jenny. I write, play soccer, make art, make tacos, walk my dog, and ride my bike. My first novel, The Atlas of Forgotten Places, was published by St. Martin's Press in 2017, and I'm a member of the Clarion UCSD "Ghost Class" (2020-22).

I write professionally at the intersection of AI and ethics at Microsoft. Personally, I have a handful of fiction and nonfiction projects in the works, including a Young Adult fantasy/space opera novel. Please reach out to my agent, Ann Leslie Tuttle, if you're curious about these projects or other works.

To get in touch, you can find me on Instagram at @stateofwander, connect with me on LinkedIn, or fill out this form. (Instagram has the cutest dogs.)
