Jayne Shore

I help poets create work that readers can’t put down.

About Me

I’m a writer and editor living in Minneapolis. I hold an M.A. in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins and am the author of the forthcoming poetry chapbook, Fluent in Silence. My work has appeared in publications such as Anti-Heroin Chic and the Indianapolis Review.

I am a member of the Sustenance writing community and have studied with award-winning poets such as Megan Falley, Sierra Demulder, and Danusha Laméris.

  • "In addition to her clear suggestions for how I might tighten my piece, Jayne showed me the inherent value in the content, which I was beginning to doubt. I feel energized to get back to work on a piece that had been languishing. That's no small feat."

    Sue Ann G.

  • "I always come to Jayne first for grammar, but it's her ear for lyricism and creative voice that has made the most impact on my writing."

    Emiliano M.

  • “Jayne's notes on vocabulary choice, line break suggestions, and ordering of pieces within a collection were so valuable to me. Her advice helped me strengthen my collection while still maintaining my voice. I highly recommend her work to any poets seeking support!”

    Candace K.

  • "I always trust Jayne to give me both supportive and incisive feedback. She knows how to protect my voice while also providing insights that help me move my pieces forward. I highly recommend her!”
