Jeannine Ouellette

Second Annual Bernatovich Jail Literacy Speaker Series

Jeannine Ouellette is the author of the memoir The Part That Burns (Split/Lip Press, 2021), the children’s book Mama Moon, and several educational titles. Her literary work appears widely and has been supported with fellowships from Millay Colony for the Arts and Brush Creek Foundation. She is the recipient of a Margarita Donnelly Prize, Curt Johnson Fiction Award, Proximity Essay Award, Masters Review Emerging Writer's Award, two Pushcart nominations, and awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the Medill School of Journalism. Her work has been praised by Joyce Carol Oates as "simply beautiful, precisely imagined, poetically structured, compelling, and vivid." Jeannine teaches creative writing with the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop, and is the founder and director of Writing in the Dark, an independent creative writing program based in Minneapolis with in-person offerings across the U.S. and internationally, and virtual offerings on Zoom. And Jeannine’s Writing in the Dark newsletter on Substack brings her teaching digitally to a community of thousands. Jeannine earned her MFA in fiction from Vermont College of Fine Arts and is working on a novel.
