General Queen is a blog for women about dating, love, marriage and family life, written, edited and run by Jennifer Zilin.
Our story
Jennifer Zilin started General Queen in 2018 to share what she has learned from her own experience, her reading and the questions friends and readers ask her, in a way that is easy to follow and honest about its limits. Today the site focuses on two things: relationships and family life.
Who we are

Jennifer Zilin is the founder and editor of General Queen. Now in her late twenties, she writes mostly about dating and modern relationships, and she edits every article on the site.
Writers with real experience of dating, marriage or family relationships can also apply to write for General Queen under their own names. Jennifer edits every piece.
You can read more about Jennifer and find all her articles on her author page.
What we do
- Relationships: dating and texting, love and marriage, communication, and honest help when a relationship gets hard.
- Family: parenting, teens and motherhood.
How we write
Every article aims to answer a real question clearly and without hype. Where facts matter, we link to trusted sources, and we update older articles when information changes. Our Editorial Policy explains how articles are researched, checked and corrected.
What General Queen is not
General Queen shares general information, not professional advice. Nothing here replaces advice from a therapist, doctor or lawyer who knows your situation. Please read our Disclaimer.
