JEAN McKENNA

Jean joined P&W in 2025 with extensive experience in print and digital magazine production. Working at Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Popular Science, and Saveur, she learned to manage editorial workflows, create schedules, and set up keyboard shortcuts for just about anything. Four times, she was a member of a team that won a National Magazine Award. Before all that, she earned a BA in English from Colgate University and spent a year teaching conversational English in Japan. An avid reader and library-card holder since childhood, Jean is delighted to find herself at an organization that actually helps people write and publish books.
