Her Lucky Break - And Dogged Hard Work to Not Waste Her Shot After writing her first draft of what would become her New York Times Bestselling book, Love & Gelato, she was so disappointed and depressed that it didn’t meet her standards for good writing, she put it into a literal closet for two years. She even had the opportunity to work for her dad on his novels, but Jenna stated that although she always had some raw talent for writing, she still struggled when it came to writing her own book. As the daughter of prolific author Richard Paul Evans, she got a front-row seat to what it takes to become a writer. Writing has always been a part of Jenna’s life. That disappointment is what made Welch realize she wanted to write books with the strong characters and magic of childhood books, but grown-up and “with a little kissing.“ Learning from her father and the grueling hard work to grow her own writing ability She was disappointed that not only was the section small (this was before the YA Fiction explosion), all too many of the female characters were cheerleaders - a huge letdown. At that age, she went to her local library a lot and moved from children’s books to the Young Adult section. Jenna Evans Welch knew she wanted to write books for teenagers since she was 11.
