Jeanette C. Pope at Grace M. James Academy of Excellence – Entrepreneur Fair

Jeanette C. Pope was honored to get invited to the Grace M. James Academy of Excellence – Entrepreneur Fair, on December 13, 2023. Grace M. James Academy of Excellence is part of the Jefferson County Public School system.

While networking, Jeanette was thrilled to share her books, Double Triangles, and Desperate Angles with other business participants.

Author Jeanette intrigued students with the covers of her books and the fact that both books are set in Louisville, Kentucky.

Jeanette seized this opportunity to discuss with the teens (middle-school girls) the purpose and plot of her soon-to-be-published book, Authentica. The central idea of the novel is ways to respond to bullying in a high school situation.

The girls expressed great interest in reading such a book and urged her to have it ready for GMJ Entrepreneur Fair, in 2024!

The sixth-ninth graders gave Jeanette many useful insights and suggestions, so now she has enough information to write a sequel to Authentica.
