Hi! I'm Jennica Peterson, a writer and editor interested in innovative people, diverse cultures, faraway places, and the power of storytelling.
My writing has been published in several anthologies and magazines, including Afar, Islands, National Geographic Traveler, Garden Design, Sport Diver, and on nationalgeographic.com. I've worked as an editor for Afar, Islands, Sport Diver, and Via. I've developed social media strategies for Afar and the company Wilderness Travel, and I've written ad copy for tour companies and resorts.
I've been to about 70 countries. Perhaps my favorite single hour in all of my travels was spent with wild mountain gorillas in Uganda (pictured). Last year, my husband, Michael, daughter, Vida (age 5), and I traveled around the U.S. for 15 months in an RV. We recently settled in the small town of Louisville, Colorado, close to Boulder.
The past few years I've taken a break from my writing and editing career to fully experience the adventure of early motherhood. Now—fortified with the determination, hard work, and patience that parenthood requires—I'm working again as a wordsmith, writing and editing stories for children and adults, writing copy for forward-thinking companies, and helping others to find their own voice.
