Episode #50 Taylor A. Jenkins – Building Worlds, Finding Inspiration, & A Lifelong Love of Story

Show Notes

In this episode of Miles Beyond the Page, host Michelle welcomes Taylor A. Jenkins, an author whose love of storytelling began with a single spark of encouragement from a teacher and grew into a lifelong passion.

With over twelve years of writing experience, Taylor has turned her early school assignments into entire worlds of imagination. After earning her degree in English and Creative Writing from Weber State University, she dedicated herself to creating the kinds of stories she once escaped into as a reader. Now living in Utah with her family and a lively crew of animals, she continues to explore the beauty, heart, and adventure found in fiction.

Join Michelle and Taylor for an inspiring conversation about creative beginnings, the joy of worldbuilding, and how one teacher’s belief can change a life forever.
