Author of DEAR DOTTY

Now Available for Pre-ORDER here!

Hey there! I'm Jaclyn. 

If you were to crack open my 5th-grade yearbook, you'd see that my favorite food was hot dogs and my future goal was to be a writer. One of those things is still true. 

I no longer love hot dogs (I’m now an avowed herbivore - much to my Italian family's dismay), but I do want to be a writer. And it just so happens that you may have seen my work on The Muse, Forbes, Business Insider, Mashable, Fast Company, Inc., or The Bold Italic. I’m also a graduate of Stanford’s Novel Writing Certificate program and an alumna of the Northern California Writer’s retreat. My short story, A Runaway Tale was selected for the 2018 Story Shares Character Award.

My debut novel, Dear Dotty (more on that here!) is coming summer 2024 from Avon Books, and am thrilled to be represented by Rachel Beck at Liza Dawson Associates.

When I'm not staring at the computer screen, you can probably find me reading a great book (I’ve been very into mysteries and thrillers lately), drinking all the coffee, or paddleboarding with my adorable dachshund-mix, Indiana Jones.
