Jessica Clem, M.S.

Welcome to my author website! Learn about me, my upcoming thriller, and any upcoming press and events.

“There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied in the one, I will indulge the other.” -Mary Shelly, Frankenstein.

This short horror story appeared in the January 2024 issue of Macabre Magazine (formerly Dark Harbor Magazine).

I wrote this LTE on the Pro Act in January 2023 as part of my Planned Parenthood activism work.

I led our department's website redesign project and provided advice and guidance to our technical and content leads. I also managed timelines, deliverables, led meetings, presented to directors, and ensured deliverables were met from start to finish.

My debut novel is due to be released in November 2026, and it now has a Goodreads profile. Add it to your TBR if you like smutty, bloody thrillers.

The Office of Classroom Management partnered with our team (ASR) to completely overhaul and redesign their website (within Folwell design parameters). I was the content lead and project manager for this seven-month project, managing everything from meetings to deliverables across all project phases.

My short horror story, "The Return," is featured in this horror anthology.

I, along with my team, implemented a major overhaul of the UMN catalog. We switched our antiquated curriculum management systems model to Coursedog, an integrated program and course approval system. I wrote the content on the catalog home pages and built all five, multi-page catalogs for each UMN campus. I wrote a multi-page documentation guide to accompany this new design.

I led the 2023 DORS awareness campaign, and one of the deliverables was engaging new users through a website redesign. The content on the home page and About DORS page is primarily my original content. My team and I storyboarded the resource library, and I contacted DORS "superusers" to build the See DORS in Action page.

My poem, "Hiraeth," was selected for publication in the Winter 2024 issue of Creation Magazine.

This demon-heavy anthology features my short horror story, "Sharp."

My short horror story, "Slits," was one of 16 stories chosen for this dystopian horror anthology.

This is a tribute to my late mother, who died of breast cancer. The short essay ran in the 2008 Omaha World Herald paper.

The National Defense Prototype Center is a new project being developed by our client in Wichita. I wrote the script and recommended footage for this promotional video. The client used nearly every piece of advice I offered, including the script. No major revisions, which I take as a huge win!

One of our architects was nominated for the MREJ 2019 Architect of the Year (spoiler alert: he won), and we needed an ad to run in the journal that reflected our repositioning work. I wrote the copy, while our graphic designer did the layout.
