About Jeanne Grunert
Born and raised on Long Island, just a short train ride from New York City, Jeanne Grunert discovered her love of storytelling early. She won a grade‑school storytelling contest, then the Brockport Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing Contest as a high‑school freshman—early signs of a lifelong creative spark. She continued writing and publishing magazine pieces, short stories, and essays throughout her college years and into her professional life.
Jeanne’s career has been equally rich, spanning roles as an advertising writer and coordinator for a local publisher and leadership positions in marketing at a respected garden center, a financial services company, and several education publishers in the New York City region.
In 2007, Jeanne and her family moved to a 16-acre farm in rural central Virginia, just outside of Lynchburg. She opened Seven Oaks Consulting, providing skilled writing and marketing services for technology, education, health and wellness, and publishing companies. Through Seven Oaks, Jeanne offers fractional Chief Marketing Officer (marketing leadership), content strategy and management, SEO consulting, and highly skilled writing services.
Jeanne is married to her lifelong partner, John. The Grunerts have adopted many pets throughout the years. Their current four-footed family consists of a German shepherd dog and two rescued cats. They love hiking and have hiked many miles in state and national parks. Jeanne is passionate about animals and animal welfare, and loves horses, dogs, cats, and wildlife. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, reading, and cooking.
