About the Podcast

Fiction Refinery
Storytelling for Romantic Fantasy Writers
Writing a book is exciting, messy, and sometimes overwhelming. I’m Jennifer, a writer and developmental editor, and on Fiction Refinery I’m pulling back the curtain on my own process as I work on my next story (romantic fantasy).

I'm not here to tell you how to write a book. Instead, I'm sharing the false starts, the breakthroughs, and the lessons I’m learning along the way from books, movies, and other writers. If you’re on your own writing journey and want some company on the road, you’ll feel right at home here.

Together we’ll trade ideas, share struggles, and make the creative process feel a little less lonely.
