Janna Hockenjos is a book editor and writing coach. She’s edited multiple NYT bestselling books and continues to work with authors as they bring their words, messages, and stories out into the world. An author herself, Janna has returned to writing this year to support a passion of protecting the planet. She’s on a mission to help as many people as she can become more environmentally conscious.
