Jenn Walton

Writing Coach

Jenn Walton is a writer, editor, storyteller, and freelancer based in Washington, D.C., whose fiction works are housed mainly in the speculative genre, and whose freelance projects span multiple genres and industries. She has completed and begun editing her first novel project that explores, through the lens of a failing utopia, what happens when society gives in to its fear of “the other.”

As a writing coach at DIY MFA, Jenn loves helping writers at any stage gain a better and deeper understanding of their characters and stories. Through a focus on character and the why behind any action, reaction or general storyline, no matter how big or small, she hopes to help writers make their stories the very best versions of themselves.

Previously a writer/editor at a D.C. communications firm, Jenn has drafted and edited sponsored and organic content for top-tier academic institutions, Fortune 500 companies and leading philanthropic organizations that has run in The Washington PostUSA Today and the Atlantic. She received her BA Writing Seminars in Fiction from the Johns Hopkins University, and falls asleep almost instantly on any and all road trips (her husband and best friend have several pictures).
