Agent Bio

Jessica represents literary and upmarket fiction and narrative nonfiction, as well as literature in translation and select graphic novels.

She is interested in distinctive voices and writing that challenges the expected–stylistically, formally, or otherwise.

Jessica is particularly drawn to voice-driven prose, thoughtful criticism, genre-bending writing, and underrepresented narratives.

Jessica graduated from the University of Chicago with a BA in English and an MA in the humanities.
