Hi! I'm Jess.

I'm an Editor at Running Press, where I acquire and edit books in a range of categories including humor, pop-culture, sports, and unique or irreverent self-help and wellness. I love working with my authors to bring their projects to fruition, and I’ve had the privilege of working with eco-lifestyle experts, sports journalists, entertainment writers, and more. I’ve also worked with brands and licenses such as Pusheen, The Fred Rogers Company, Pantone, Rotten Tomatoes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Mean Girls to further extend their audiences through targeted publishing.

I was previously at Rodale Books, where I focused on health, fitness, and wellness content. While much of my published writing falls under these categories, I'm also passionate about gender equality, fish tacos (actually, most food), education, and social issues.

I enjoy freelance writing projects that allow my passions to intersect. I also offer freelance editing for everything from resumes and blog posts to full-length manuscripts. Think I'd make a good fit as a writer or editor on a project you're cooking up? Drop me an email or connect with me on social.
