Lynne Jeter has spent nearly three decades finding the story no one else thought to look for.
An award-winning freelance business journalist and narrative nonfiction author, Lynne has built a reputation on two things that rarely travel together: rigorous research and genuine trust. She digs into what's already been covered before she writes a word — then finds the angle that wasn't. Her sources give her the real version of their story. That's not an accident.
Her first book, Disconnected: Deceit and Betrayal at WorldCom (John Wiley & Sons, 2003), was the first to market on one of the largest corporate fraud scandals in American history. A two-time Mississippi SBA Small Business Journalist of the Year - a distinction she may hold alone - Lynne covers corporate developments, foreign direct investment, artificial intelligence policy, and small business for outlets including the Mississippi Business Journal.
Her third book, The Table of Four: What Mahjong Reveals About Who We Really Are (Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster), is forthcoming in 2027.
She is based in Abingdon, Virginia.
