Thank you so much for coming to teach workshops the last couple years in a row. I really appreciate you taking time out to come visit us :) I am going to sorely miss you and these workshops after I graduate!
— Young Writer

Since 2010, I’ve helped young writers realize their creative potential.

I offer one-on-one virtual editing services to young poets, storytellers, and academics, ages 8-18.

Jessica’s passion for creative writing and for her students comes across in every bit of her teaching. It’s contagious, and it invigorates our students and their work. Jessica is one of the best and most popular instructors we’ve ever had in - we’d LOVE the honor of having her back again and again at our school!

-
Writers in the Schools
- Colorado Humanities
- Lighthouse Writers Workshop
- Denver School of the Arts
- Denver Writing Project
- Austin Public Library Foundation
- and more
