Dena Odgen

Dena writes about topics and genres in lifestyle, arts & culture, women’s issues & feminism, parenting, and anything that allows her to throw in an occasional boyband reference.

Ogden’s work has appeared on The Atlantic, Bustle, Romper, Refinery29, The Inlander, The Muse, Hello Giggles, MapQuest, Extra Crispy, Elite Daily, Stacker, Slackjaw, The Belladonna, Mommy Nearest, and more. She also writes contemporary fiction.

Before launching her writing career, Ogden worked in higher education in both admissions and career services. Nowadays, in between family and writing, you can find Dena putting too much milk in her coffee, indulging in synthy pop music, or doing nerdy paper crafts (often at the same time).
