Beth Jusino

Beth Jusino is an award-winning writer, developmental editor, teacher, and publishing consultant with twenty years of experience helping people share better stories. She's also an unlikely pilgrim and thru-hiker who has spent more than 100 days walking Europe's Camino de Santiago/Chemin de Saint Jacques. Her thousand-mile trek across France and Spain is the subject of her latest book, Walking to the End of the World. Walking to the End of the World won the Barbara Savage Miles from Nowhere Award for narrative travel writing and an Independent Publishers Book Award (an IPPY) for travel writing, and The Author's Guide to Marketing also won an IPPY for publishing title. She's a member of The Authors Guild and the Northwest Editors Guild. When she's not writing her own works, Beth is a collaborative writer, developmental editor, and publishing consultant for interesting people with important stories to share. She's worked with authors on everything from business books to memoirs, parenting guides to spiritual self-help. And if that's not enough to keep her busy, she teaches the crafts of writing and author marketing at dozens of conferences and gatherings each year, gives talks on the Camino de Santiago to outdoor clubs and community groups, and volunteers as a newsletter editor for the American Pilgrims on the Camino. Beth grew up near the New Jersey shore and earned her BA in political science. She lives in Seattle, in easy walking distance of a beach and a short drive from mountain hikes.
