Jacqueline Leigh was raised in North Georgia; where her childhood was filled with
scraped knees, rope swings and sticky Southern nights.
Her dream of becoming a writer began at a young age, when her mother presented
her with a journal and a pen. The daily ritual of writing turned into a realistic
passion as she got older. In 2003, Jacqueline attended Valdosta State University in
South Georgia, where she studied creative writing and Journalism.
Her studies paved the way for great accomplishments. She spent many years
working alongside advertising executives, producing inspirational and ground break
print, web and television ads. Jacqueline later put her focus on journalism, doing
what she loves, writing stories for the general public.
She has been published in multiple print and digital publications. She’s interviewed
big name bands and small town businesses, both contributing to her understanding
and joy of writing. Jacqueline has taken her experiences and focused on becoming a
children’s author, a lifetime dream.
Her current home in North Carolina is shared with her hard-working husband, two
cuddly labs and two rowdy children. The bliss of being a stay at home mother is met
with the pride of writing. In fact, Jacqueline’s writing space is tucked away in a
corner of the playroom. Juggling is what she does best, she’s teaching her children
that you can, in fact, have it all.
