Welcome to Story Exploratory! I am committed to providing a safe space for young writers to explore their creativity and to centering, celebrating, and elevating youth voices because every young person should know their voice matters here, now, and wherever their lives may take them.
Writing is a tool of empowerment. Writing allows us to examine ourselves and our world, explore our creative potential, share our stories, and make an impact with our ideas. I believe in creating an inclusive environment for all people where we celebrate our uniqueness and share stories as a way to build empathy and impact change. I strive to give young people the opportunity to see themselves and their world represented in the literature they read as well as the chance to see their own words published.
A little about me: I'm Jen Vincent and I'm a writer, blogger, and educator. I write picture books and young adult novels. All of my books are #ownvoices because even though I was born here in the US, my mom’s side of the family is from Guatemala. Growing up, I didn’t see myself in books (I still struggle to even today!) and my goal is for Latinx youth like me to see themselves in books and to also see themselves in the author who writes those books but at the same time for all readers to see this as well. All kids deserve to be seen and it's my mission to ensure Story Exploratory is a space that not only sees kids but celebrates them. Learn more about me and my writing at jenvincentwrites.com.
