About JK

Jamie, known as JK to friends, is a mom, business owner, travel junkie, and teller of stories. She lives a short drive from the Maine coast with her family and two goofy Great Danes.

Her storytelling has historically been done through business branding, communication strategy, and marketing, but over the last few years, she has dug into her craft while attending writers’ workshops and poured her heart onto pages in the form of her first manuscript, BEFORE I GO. She was a 2023 International Page Turner Awards finalist, is finishing her Masters in Creative Writing and Literature at Harvard University, is the Communication Director of WFWA (Women's Fiction Writers Association), and is currently out on submission to publishers with her debut novel.

JK is represented by Jill Marsal at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency and a proud member of:

2022 Alumni of Algonkian Writer's NY Writer to Pitch
