Jen Cownie


I'm a writer (among other things) based in southeast London. My first book, WILD CARD, is a guide to the tarot through the lens of storytelling rather than psychic practice. I'm now working on my next book, which isn't even a little bit about tarot.When I'm not writing books, I'm a strategy director at an ad agency, where I make things like this and this. If you’re wondering whether I’m the same Jen Cownie who has a lot of opinions about, for example, Shrek, Taylor Swift, and Before Sunrise, the answer is: absolutely yes.

WILD CARD is widely available in the UK and internationally, as well as in German and Spanish translations.

"These cards are not what they seem. In fact, they're probably not what you've been told at all - they don't really prophesise doom or promise glory. But they are magic in their own small way. Each one has a story to tell: turn a card over and it can transport you to the past, illuminate the present, or ask questions of the future. Every card in the tarot is a wildcard, a portal to the unexpected. Every time you draw your cards, you open up possibilities."
