Jenny Skoog Mondesir is a writer, editor, and podcast producer whose work is about what people bury — in families, in archives, and in the stories cities tell about themselves.
She produces BIO Podcast for the Biographers International Organization, where she has published more than 100 episodes with Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award finalists, and bestselling biographers, including the documentary season Four Paths, One Impossible Dream. She reads submitted literary fiction for the Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize, has edited two literary novels — one through publication — and co-founded LIV Literary Journal. Her criticism has appeared in Australian Policy and History and in her newsletter, Things I Meant to Tell You.
She created the audio memoir The Silence Between Hello, which launched independently to 27,000 downloads in its first week. She is at work on two books: an oral history of women who left the fundamentalist religion she was raised in, and a reported memoir about the year she spent in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the centennial of the 1921 Race Massacre.
The other half of her work is women's health. Since 2005 she has trained women in New York City through pregnancy, postpartum, cancer treatment and recovery, perimenopause, and menopause. She was the opening voice in NPR's Living Better series on hormone therapy access, served as a Menopause Ambassador for Elektra Health, and is an Ambassador for the 2026 Livelong Women's Health Summit. She starred in and co-produced COZI TV's Pushing It, earning a New York Emmy nomination.
She holds an MA in Biography and Memoir from the CUNY Graduate Center and a BA in English and Black Studies from City College, where she graduated summa cum laude. She lives in the New York City area.
