Jacquelyn Benoit holds a BFA in Creative Writing from Full Sail University, where she learned about a variety of different forms of writing, including short fiction, screenwriting for TV and film, gamewriting, and more. She writes under the pseudonym J. Penelope Baker when writing YA and uses her own name for all her other writing endeavors. Outside her writing, Jacquelyn aims to work in children's book publishing, where she hopes to help foster a love of reading in young folks and enable those marginalized voices to reach a wider audience. When she isn’t creating, she enjoys reading, playing videos games, and cuddling with her kitties.
