What It's Like to Work with Jenn:

"Jenn was such a joy to work with on THE ZONE! I already knew I was hiring a great editor and proofreader-Jenn sets the standard for some of the ttrpgs & game companies I admire most, and patiently taught me how to set up my editing workflow and create a style guide (as well as writing a brilliant and creative scenario for the game!) But working with Jenn was so much more than that! I also got the immense wisdom and support of a ttrpg veteran able to buff creative potholes, nuke procrastination, and navigate the moving parts of creating and publishing a game. Can't wait for the next project together!" -Raph D'Amico, The Zone

"I feel that editing TTRPGs requires a nuanced understanding of play and learning how to play, and I struggled with how to present information in the book in a helpful flow. Jenn was such a rockstar and I could feel how she wanted to preserve my poetic approach and voice!" -Rae Nedjadi, Apocalypse Keys

"Want to hire a writer/narrative designer? Check out @tenpenjenn's work!" -Banana Chan, owner Game and a Curry

"If you ever want to know what working with Jenn is like, feel free to ask and I will tell you it is EXCESSIVELY GREAT" -Jason Morningstar, owner Bully Pulpit Games
