About The Eleventh Letter
Jocelyn Winn
My narrative arc has been more zigzag than pyramid, and what an amazing ride it’s been! Eleven is my favorite number, and K is my favorite letter. I launched The Eleventh Letter editorial services in 2014 after working for 20 years in the publishing industry, from textbooks, academic assessments, and scientific journals to art magazines, fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, and content development. Now I’m beyond grateful to launch the brick-and-mortar Main Street space The Writing Gallery to expand those services.
I have a deep adoration for the city of Concord, New Hampshire. Born in Concord, Massachusetts, it’s another one of those serendipitous outcomes that I landed here after years of traveling. It was love at first sight. The city girl in me revels in our downtown eclectic eateries, shops, and arts scene. The country girl in me gladly escapes to our rivers, lakes, hikes, and trails. I’m grateful to call Concord home.
