About Jennifer Roy

Jennifer Roy is a children's literature scholar and a freelance writer. She currently is working as as a flex editor and on writing content for The Best War Games. She received her Ph. D. in English in 2020. A common thread of her scholarly work is a focus on the use of adaptation and particular motifs to tell and retell stories.

Industry Focus

Jennifer wrote for CBR from 2021-2025, and she worked as a Premium Content Editor for the site from 2023-2025. She now works as a freelance writer for The Best War Games. While her main focus has been writing about Star Wars, she also writes about horror in movies, television and comics. She also has been a guest on Book Squad Goals, discussing horror and fairy tales.

Favorite Movies

Jennifer has been a major Star Wars fan since her father started giving her Star Wars books when she was 8 years old. She loves Star Wars in all of its forms, but she has been particularly enjoying the High Republic era. She also enjoys other sci-fi and fantasy, but her favorite genre is horror.

Favorite Games

Jennifer is an avid TTRPG player, focusing on D&D 5e, PbTA games, and other systems. For video games, Jennifer's favorites range from the Dragon Age series, spot-the-difference horror games like the I'm on Observation Duty series, classics like Super Mario RPG and the Mario Kart series, and cozier titles such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Stardew Valley.
