Jennifer Silva Redmond is a writer and editor from California. Born in Los Angeles, she grew up all over the Golden State from beachfront apartments to a hippie commune. She was an actor in LA and NYC for many years playing parts in film and television as well as way off Broadway. In 1989, she married artist Russel Redmond and they took off on a honeymoon aboard his 26-foot sailboat in Baja California’s Sea of Cortez. They fell in love with Baja and stayed in Mexico more than a year. That life-changing first trip was the start of a multi-year voyage that took them through the Panama Canal to Florida and then west along the Intracoastal Waterway of the Gulf Coast of the US, to Texas, and home to California. They have been sailing ever since. Jennifer’s essays, poems, and articles have been published in numerous magazines such as Sail, Cruising World, and Cicada, and on internet sites such as Brevity. She is on the teaching staff of the Southern California Writers’ Conference and San Diego Writers, Ink, and was prose editor for A Year in Ink, vol 3. She lives with her artist-teacher husband Russel, aboard their current sailboat Watchfire somewhere on the West Coast of North America.

Her memoir about that life-changing first sailing trip to Baja, Honeymoon at Sea: How I Found Myself Living on a Small Boat, is coming out in September of 2023 from re:books of Toronto. She is currently writing another nonfiction book of editing tips for writers; her book reviews and blog posts about books, writing, editing, and the sailing life can be found at her site: www.jennyredbug.com.
