Hi, I’m Jen! I’m the author of three books—a memoir and two young adult novels—and am at work on a fourth. I’m also a freelance journalist and editor who has edited and written for publications ranging from New York magazine to the L.A. Times.

Other Writing
Here's a sampling of some of my favorite work—from essays to reported pieces, book reviews, interviews, and columns—from across my writing career.
About
Jen Doll is, in fact, my real name, though my mom calls me “Jennifer.” When my brother and I were little she'd tell people our names were Ken and Barbie. No one has been able to top that Doll joke yet, but you're welcome to try.
I've been a writer and editor since I was making books out of construction paper when I was little. Things have changed a lot since then, but I still love telling stories.
