Workshop Title: Writing to Market
Jenna Brandt has been a bestselling author on Amazon for 7 years.
Jenna Brandt, international bestselling and award-winning author who writes historical and contemporary romance, will be speaking at the Writers of Kern meeting October 19 at Hodels. Come at 9:00am for breakfast and visiting. At 10:15, Jenna will speak to us on how she started in the industry, why she chose to self-publish, her writing process and how she established and maintains her readership. Her historical books span from Victorian to Western eras and all of her books have elements of romance, suspense and faith.
She has her own best-selling historical series, as well as contemporary series. Additionally, she’s created two best-selling multi-author series, The Lawkeepers and Disaster City Search and Rescue based off the life of her husband in law enforcement. Her books, Waiting on the Billionaire and Lawfully Treasured, were voted into the Top 50 Indie Books of 2018 and her book, The Billionaire’s Birthday Gift, was a finalist in the “Best Book We’ve Read All Year” Contest in 2020.
She’s been an avid reader since she could hold a book and started writing stories almost as early. She graduated with her Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Bethany College where she was the Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper. Her first blog was published on The Mighty website, Yahoo Parenting and The Grief Toolbox as well as featured on the ABC News, CNN Health, and Good Morning America websites. She’s also a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) Association.
Writing is her passion, but she also enjoys date nights with her hubby and activities with her three young daughters. She summers on the Central Coast where she finds endless inspiration for her romance books. She’s also active in her local church where she volunteers on their first impressions team and operates as the story curator for their media team.
