About Jen Kaarlo

Touted as unabashedly honest, hilarious, and high-strung, my writing has been known to bring tears to people's eyes either by sorrow or the pure cringe I've splashed onto the page. Whether I'm writing about abuse and online harassment or sexless relationships and disappointing intimate endeavours, I'm committed to bringing unmentionable topics out of the shadows.

In addition to being a freelance journalist and radio & podcast commentator, I've spent the last 15 years wearing multiple hats as a magazine editor, UX + SEO writer, digital editorial strategist, and senior content designer. It's not just about putting big words together in a sentence, but instead, telling stories that are both real and engaging. Quite simply, I love working with words.

I am currently writing a memoir about my dating escapades following the collapse of a 10-year relationship and how I got back into the dating scene while using apps for the first time and living halfway across the world. From Sir Glitter Pants and Poly Pocket to Big Poppa and Curly Q, there's plenty of page-turning content for all my chapters. Often called the queen of the pivot, I am currently producing a range of pocket-sized guide books on how to 'Bounce to the Bright Side'.

If you would like to collaborate on an upcoming launch, commission me for an editorial feature, or have me on your programme, don't hesitate to contact me – it will be lovely to connect.
