Jalen Criss is an author with a knack for blending humor, honesty, and heartfelt insight into every story he tells. Born in Newark, NJ and raised in Irvington, he discovered his love for writing through his mother’s encouragement and a lifetime of experiences that taught him about love, resilience, and connection. His passion for writing is evident in his latest work, which he shares on his website launch, where readers can explore themes like online dating and fatherhood.
His works—ranging from books on modern dating to heartfelt explorations of fatherhood—offer readers guidance wrapped in wit and real-life relatability. Whether he’s helping fathers navigate the legal system, unpacking the complexities of relationships, or inspiring kids through imaginative stories, Jalen writes to make a difference. He's even found a way to connect with audiences on TikTok, where he shares snippets of his insights and humor.
When he’s not writing, you’ll find him working at events, connecting with readers, and creating spaces for authentic conversations about love, family, and personal growth—often over a slice of pie.
