About Jenn Chen
writing & photographing
tanjennts- personal newsletter
Exploring the tangents that coffee creates: essays and stories in culture, freelancing, food, and more.
I've been writing a 2x/month newsletter for 8+ years. The twice-monthly issues are free for all subscribers.
Other writing/resources
I also occasionally update my blog, Medium page, and photo blog with new articles. Both blogs have helpful resources and templates.
There are a few ways to support me:
1. One-time tip or donation with no newsletter signup
2. Name your annual newsletter membership price (see the "extras" tab to claim)
3. 🔏 Paid members at $5/month or $50/year receive two additional emails a month. There is also a sliding-scale subscription at $3/month or $30/year that you can access on the newsletter page. The newsletter is sent via Ghost, and you'll be added manually to the list when you become a member (please allow me a few days).
4. Comped subscriptions are also available.
