Welcome, dear ones! I'm Jen Violi, author of Putting Makeup on Dead People, living amidst the green and caffeine in Portland, Oregon. Also, I'm a book midwife. I help writers craft the books they were meant to write, whether to leave a story legacy for future generations, boost professional credibility, or gain the sense of accomplishment that comes from actualizing a dream and telling a tale that longs to be told. So, midwife. Why not simply coach or editor? Will I coach you? Yes. Will I edit? You can count on it. But book writing is personal and life changing, and what I offer also honors that. A book is something a writer conceives, carries, labors over, and then births. Side effects can include back pain, weird food cravings, and big feelings, so my work with writers includes healthy supplements of compassion, reverence, and pickles, as needed.
