Meet Jenna

Hey there! My name is Jenna and I’m the freelance editor & illustrator behind this website. I’m Canadian, born and raised in the lower mainland area of British Columbia and currently residing in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland. I live with my husband, daughter, and our beloved feline overlords.

I studied history with a minor in psychology at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (British Columbia,) then decided to do the undergrad experience all over again in a STEM field at Memorial University of Newfoundland. What started as a Bachelor of Engineering in electrical engineering morphed into a Bachelor of Computer Science and then fizzled out into a break from education while I established myself as a working Newfoundland resident rather than a visiting student from BC, for financial purposes. I then took the first 5 year of my daughter’s life off to be a stay-at-home mom and pursue creative endeavours.

I’m an avid reader and aspiring author with a deep love for the Science Fiction & Fantasy umbrella of genres, though I also love historical and contemporary fiction, and I’ll give just about anything a chance if it features magical realism or has strong LGBTQIA+ themes and isn’t erotic romance.

I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and my pronouns are she/they (mix and match!) For the purpose of considering me as an #OwnVoices reader, reviewer, editor, or author, my labels are panromantic demisexual (generalize as bisexual) and demigirl non-binary.

I’m also suspected to be (but not psychologist confirmed, that’s too expensive right now!) autistic, so I can provide the #OwnVoices perspective of a high-functioning autistic female who was not properly screened and accommodated as a child.

Tips & Gifts Welcome but Never Expected

This seems as good a place as any to drop my “wish list” and “tip jar” links. Please don’t ever feel obligated to send me anything beyond paying your quoted fee for my paid services!

Affiliate Programs

This website and my social platforms are registered with several affiliate programs. These are a great way to support me by doing the shopping you were already going to do. In some cases, nothing changes for you but I earn loyalty points or a small commission. In other cases, we both earn rewards!

All Amazon & Audible links on blog posts, including program links to try Audible and Kindle services, are affiliate links that change nothing for you but earn a commission for me. If you make any purchase on Amazon after getting there with one of my affiliate links, it counts! It doesn’t have to be the exact item linked. Visit this page for a master list of art supplies I’ve linked to in various YouTube videos.
