Jennifer Thé (Tay) is an Asian American fiction writer and copy editor. She started writing at the age of nine on a blue Brother typewriter in her grandmother’s attic. Her love of typewriters and fear of attics would later inspire an entire novel.

Jennifer graduated from the University of Kentucky with degrees in journalism and theater. Through the University of Chicago Graham School, she studied manuscript editing, and she was a 2022-2024 mentee in the Writers House Mentor Initiative for BIPOC publishing aspirants. Presently, Jennifer is working on an adult gothic fantasy inspired by Chinese folklore.

Once upon a time, Jennifer was a HarperCollins freelancer, a slush-pile reader, an adjunct instructor, a magazine coeditor, and a reporter/anchor for the NPR and CBS affiliates in her hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. She lives with her family in New England on a small farm surrounded by woods, next to a cemetery.

Her gothic horror novel, the one about a typewriter and an attic, is the story that connected her with a brilliant literary agent.

Jennifer is represented by Helen Lane of the Ki Agency in London.
