Kristen Tan

Kristen is the editor-in-chief of Musings, the Muse's very own literary zine for teen writing and art. Submissions are open now!

Kristen is a rising sophomore at Princeton University planning on majoring in Comparative Literature. She was a Teen Fellow here at The Muse in 2021 and has been an intern since 2022. She is a poet, a theatre kid, and musician, and will ramble at you about terrible translations of French poetry until you stop her or politely excuse yourself from the conversation. She uses way too many em-dashes — they're her favorite form of punctuation — and loves The Muse with all her heart.
