About Pen & Tarot
Introduction
Are you looking for something unique and creative to inspire and support your writing practice? Tarot cards date back to the mid-15th century, but their timeless concept is rooted in the human condition and the journey of life we all travel.
Often seen as a fortune-telling tool and a means of self-discovery, the tarot also functions as an incredible creative resource. Whether or not you understand a card’s assigned meanings, you will receive countless prompts and ideas that ignite your imagination and motivate you to write.
Everyone is a writer! Pen & Tarot inspires your book, script, blog, or newsletter, but it doesn’t stop there—use it for free-writing practice or journaling.Don’t feel inspired by a particular prompt or idea? Shuffle again! After all, the tarot doesn’t write your story… the magic is in you.
Founders
The Pen & Tarot app is brought to you by a dynamic duo — a designer who loves crafting intuitive, beautiful experiences and a writer who finds magic in deep, meaningful stories. Together, they’ve turned the art of tarot into a creative tool for writers.
Susie Shubert
Susie’s creative direction shapes Pen & Tarot’s voice, helping writers find inspiration through story, symbolism, and self-discovery.
A self-proclaimed Seeker and Storyteller, Susie Shubert is a certified life coach, a published author, a presenter, and a tarot advisor.
She co-wrote Little House Life Hacks with Angie Bailey, two Gen-X latchkey kids who grew up watching Little House on the Prairie. This kitschy yet helpful book draws lessons from the iconic 70s and 80s TV show, along with the timeless Laura Ingalls Wilder books, to inspire anyone who considers themselves a modern pioneer.
She recently wrote a fantasy novel with the working title, Truth Mercurial. A story about a secret group of mages and alchemists trying to maintain balance in their world amid whispers of betrayal and a deadly threat, it will attract readers who are on an endless quest to find the Truth and where it lies.
Susie has been honored to teach how the tarot is an excellent writing companion at the esteemed Loft Literary Center in her hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and online through the Creative Mornings community.
