Hey there, I’m Jessica.

Words have been my thing for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my nose in a book, scribbling stories in the margins of my notebooks, and now, I get to call that my job. These days, I’m all about the fun spaces where genres mix. My writing is a blend of my life as an expat and my love for languages—stories that cross borders, just like me.

Professionally, I hold an MFA from Spalding University. I’m a member of the Editorial Freelance Association and the Association of American Literary Agents. My MSWL can be found here. I provide developmental editing and feedback for Writer’s Digest, Uncharted Magazine, and Fractured Lit. I offer writing coaching and dev ed services via Draft Craft, a bespoke writing coaching service that focuses on taking stories and making them shine.

In addition to editing and coaching, I love sharing what I’ve learned. I regularly present panels and workshops on the art of writing and the business of being an author. Whether it’s breaking down the craft of storytelling or diving into the ins and outs of the publishing world, I’m all about helping writers grow. Find a list of my upcoming appearances here.

I’m represented by Amy Collins of Talcott Notch Literary Services.

When I’m not deep in a story, you might find me exploring new corners of the world, experimenting with recipes that may or may not turn out, or getting lost in a book that I can’t put down.
