JENNA PUTNAM

Jenna Putnam is a writer and visual artist born on Maui and living in California. Drawn to concepts that blur the line between the documented and the surreal, she is constantly exploring relationships between concrete thought, memory, and the subconscious.

Her writing and photography have appeared in Autre, Hero, ExPat Press, The Moth, Pidgeonholes, The Sun, The New York Times, and others. Her poem “The End (pt. II)” was nominated for a 2023 Pushcart Prize, and her screenplay Northern Lights was a quarterfinalist for the 2023 Outstanding Screenplays Feature Competition. She is the author of the poetry collection Hold Still (Paradigm Publishing) and directed the short film Agathe in 2021. She has exhibited, read, and performed at venues and art fairs internationally.

Putnam is currently seeking representation for her feature Northern Lights, a period drama based on her great-grandmother's unpublished memoir. She is also writing a feature about a female photographer and her muse, based on her time working as a portrait photographer in New York City.
