Hi there, I’m Jenna Edwards.

I believe life’s challenges are just plot twists waiting to turn into the most empowering stories.

Whether I’m writing books or producing films, I’m driven by one simple goal: to create work that inspires resilience, courage, and a whole lot of hope.

My book, Aggressive Optimism, isn’t just my story—it’s a movement.

After surviving the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market Crash and battling debilitating PTSD, I discovered that optimism isn’t just a mindset; it’s an act of rebellion.

This Amazon #1 bestseller is a captivating novel that wraps powerful lessons in an entertaining, heartfelt story. Think of it as “spoonful of sugar” media—delivering inspiration and resilience through characters and twists you won’t forget.

As a producer, I’ve spent years bringing bold, meaningful projects to life, from feature films to innovative short-form series. I’ve learned that storytelling—whether on the page or the screen—is all about connection. That’s why I’m so passionate about adapting Aggressive Optimism into a film that inspires even more people to embrace their inner strength.

If you’re here, you’re part of the story too. Take a look around, explore my projects, and let’s connect. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and make something extraordinary.

Aggressive Optimism is a compelling coming-of-age novel that blends

The emotional depth of Girl Interrupted with the empowering spirit of Legally Blonde. The story follows Nif, a talented singer with dreams of Hollywood, who is on the verge of her big break when a tragic accident shatters her plans. Faced with unexpected challenges, Nif embarks on a journey of self-discovery, supported by her close-knit circle of family and friends.

What sets this story apart is Nif’s relentless drive—her aggressive optimism—not just to rebuild her life but to inspire those around her. This novel tackles themes of mental health, solidarity, and perseverance, offering a narrative that’s both deeply relatable and commercially viable. It’s a story that resonates with the challenges and triumphs of real life, making it a powerful contender for adaptation.
