Then, I'll begin...
Hello, I'm Penny Jones and I help people live forever.
(A deliberately attention-grabbing and grandiose statement, yes, but also a serious mission.)
Whether capturing the essence of one person’s lived experience or communicating the impact of world-changing ideas, my mission is simple: to write purposeful words that endure.
They say there is a book in everyone, and I say they couldn't be more right.
About me
My fascination with capturing life stories started in childhood as an avid journal writer. See that picture below? Those are a few of the 60 odd notebooks I've been filling since I was 11.
This fascination continued as I got older and in 2007, when I took the plunge and started a freelance writing business, storytelling became my craft and career.
