Hi! I’m Jennifer Martain.

I’m a writer and idea-generator who believes creative empathy is the key to solving any problem—and to writing indelible characters! Join a community of curious readers, thinkers, and fellow creatives as we consider the possibilities!

Here’s what you can expect

I’m allowing myself the freedom to focus on the joy of creating, rather than following a set schedule or plan… but all subscribers will receive writing updates and musings on creativity—with a sprinkle of nerdy tidbits on random topics.

I’ll also have my first podcast to share soon! (Details forthcoming…so excited.)

And I’m releasing my work-in-progress novel in serialized form, culminating in its wide-release later this year. Free subscribers will have access to a substantial portion, and paid subscribers will be able to continue reading to the end.

The benefits of a paid subscription

Paid subscribers have full access to all content including:

  • my published books/audiobooks

  • all works-in-progress

  • any bonus content, special discussion threads, or workshops that I dream up

Founding Members are also recognized in the Acknowledgments of novels published during membership, and can schedule a free 1-hour “creative consult” video call once per year.

If you’re stuck on a creative project of your own—from writing or self-publishing to picking a paint color for your house—this call will help. I’ll brainstorm with you and share actionable steps and/or resources to help you get unstuck and back to creating!

Thank you for being a curious reader!
