LET'S CONNECT

GET REAL ABOUT 
BOOKS BY JENN

As most of you know, I’m always creating something. I typically have three to four books in development at the same time. Often in various genres. It’s just how my brain works, it refuses to sit still.

 

But if there is one place where all of that creative energy consistently lands, it’s here in the world of GET REAL ABOUT.  The GET REAL ABOUT series is more than a collection of books, it’s a movement rooted in honesty, resilience, and the understanding that real life is rarely neat, tidy, or predictable. 

​

The series officially stepped into the world in December 2024 with the release of GET REAL ABOUT THRIVING IN 2025, arriving just in time for a new year that so many people were hoping would feel like a fresh start. What happened next set the tone for everything that followed: the book quickly climbed to the #1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller list and earned recognition as a top new release by the end of December, quietly paving the way for what would become a powerful and growing brand.

​

Since then, the GET REAL ABOUT universe has expanded rapidly, with over 30 titles currently available, from guided journals and workbooks to short-form, high-impact reads designed to meet people exactly where they are. Whether it’s navigating mental health, managing co-parenting, organizing life after chaos, or simply finding a place to write the truth you’ve been holding in, these books are built to be used, not just read. At the heart of the series is a simple but powerful promise: real stories from real people. Because the truth is, we don’t heal from perfection, we heal from connection.

​

That promise comes to life in the next major milestone for the brand: GET REAL ABOUT GRIEF, acquired by Blackstone Publishing in 2026, and set to debut worldwide in January 2027. This book represents a five-year journey of collecting deeply personal stories from hundreds of individuals navigating every form of grief imaginable. It is, at its core, a testament to what happens when people are given the space to be honest about loss. Filled with reminders that even in life’s most devastating moments, there is still a path forward. And the series is only just beginning.

​

Next on the horizon is GET REAL ABOUT DIVORCE, continuing the mission of telling real, unfiltered stories while offering guidance, clarity, and a sense of steady footing during one of life’s most disorienting transitions.

While my creative world spans children’s books, middle grade adventures, and romantic comedies, GET REAL ABOUT remains my creative home base. ​

​

Because let’s get real: struggling in life isn’t the exception, it’s the rule. And within that truth, there is something unexpectedly powerful, with hope, humor, and the steady understanding that no matter where you are right now, you are still moving forward, and always GETTING REAL.
