About
Hey! I'm Jeanna. I'm a freelance health and wellness writer, webpage copywriter, poet, and book blogger from Tennessee. My writing has been published by Foothill: A Journal of Poetry, The Financial Diet, Pulp Poets Press, and others. As a first generation college student, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Memphis.
I created Halfway To It Blog to be a safe place for readers and writers to interact. My goal here is to share everything i've learned about writing as well as discuss the themes of the books I'm reading.
I hope you enjoy the discussion and find a place here.
