Hi Goodreads!
I'm Jen Calonita, a MG and YA author who loves what I do because it lets me connect with all of you (and no, I wasn't intending for that to rhyme!).

I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it was fourth grade when I put my "three wishes" for a genie down on paper. They were:
#1. Buy all the Cabbage Patch Kids in the world and give them away for free (because apparently that was how I rolled).
#2. I wanted a mansion, limo, lake house, pool and speed boat (still sounds quite nice).
#3. I wanted to be an author for young readers, which I am!

I love that you connected online over the series. I do think Fairy Tale Reform School would be fun on the big or small screen, but nothing is in the works yet. Maybe with a bit of magic, it will happen! Fingers crossed!

An All-New Disney Series

Hi everyone! How is your summer going? I've been tied to my laptop so much that I actually risked bringing it to the beach so I could get some sun. I was terrified I'd drop it in the sand, but I'm happy to report the secret book I'm working on stayed safe and I think the sunshine did me good. I've been freaking out because the kick-off to an all-new Disney YA series, The Enchanters' is coming out Read more of this blog post »

Hi Anna! At the moment, there is not another FTRS book or RA book planned, but I love to leave doors open. I could envision more stories with these characters and feel like there is lots to still explore with Gilly, Anna and friends. You never know! See Full Answer

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I want someone who builds people up, not tears them down. I need someone who makes me laugh and isn't afraid to rib me when I'm being a royal jerk.' She smiled a little. 'You're that girl. I want to be with you, and I want everyone to know it.”
Jen Calonita, Belles

“In Hollywood, we're always looking for the next big thing that will help us feel fulfilled. As actors, we're always trying to be someone else. Things like therapy help us learn how to be ourselves. Sometimes.”
Jen Calonita, There's No Place Like Home

“Good clothes made a person feel different. -Izzie”
