🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Jennifer Castle
She got her BA in Creative Writing at Brown University. She has worked as an advertising copywriter, a celebrity publicist’s assistant, and a struggling screenwriter (shocker that this is an actual job) before she fell into this niche of producing websites for teens and kids. “The Beginning of After” was a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection and a Chicago Public Library “Best of the Best” book. Jennifer has always wondered what happens to reality TV and documentary film subjects after the cameras have gone away. Do they live their lives differently, like somebody is always watching them? Does the way they’re depicted on screen change the way they see themselves in real life? The possibilities for story and character just seemed so juicy that she could not resist.
