Jazzy Mitchell

Jazzy Mitchell loves to tell stories, one word at a time. Knowing how powerful words are, she enjoys connecting them in different ways. Her writing has evolved through poetry, short stories, fanfiction under the name Jazwriter, and novels. Each project has taught her how to integrate what she’s observed. She’s warned loved ones anything they say or do may show up in her next novel. During the past thirty years Jazzy has reinvented herself several times. She taught English for a decade to inner-city, underprivileged middle school and high school students, giving back to her hometown and the school system which helped her. During that time, she encouraged countless students to express themselves through their writing by exploring their artistic sides. Law school drove the creativity out of her, but over time her artistic instincts reasserted themselves. Through the years, she has taught adults about ethics and the law and, through the Lightarian Institute, energy work. Jazzy Mitchell is the proud publisher of Launch Point Press and Vice President of the founding executive board for OPUS Literary Alliance. Sheloves to support writers as they create their stories. She's the author of five contemporary lesbian fiction novels and also contributed a short story called "Scheduling Happiness" to the anthology Tales From Under the Desert Palm. Jazzy lives in Portland, Oregon, with her loving wife, three energetic children, and feisty five-pound Maltese/Shih Tsu mix.
