Jen Butler

CREATOR
Heartbreak, meet humor.

Jen Butler (@jenbutlersays) writes dark comedies and doodled nonfiction about the messy, hilarious, gut-punching reality of being human. Her work lives at the intersection of heartbreak and humor, because if we're going to talk about the hard stuff (suicidality, mental health, recovery), we might as well laugh while we're doing it.

Jen is a Barnes & Noble Top 100 bestselling author and a real-talk comedic content creator where she tells the truth about recovery and the absurdity of being alive.

By day, Jen's Big Kid Jobâ„¢ is as a Technical Writing Manager at a software development company, where she gets paid to correct people's grammar for a living. (See? Drams do come true). By night, she's working on screenplays, books, videos, and whatever other form of storytelling lets her put words to the things we usually keep quiet.

At the heart of it, Jen is here to tell the truth (especially the parts we're "not supposed to say") and invite people to stay on Earth a little longer.
