Hi there! I'm Jess, an editor, nonfiction writer, and copywriter based in Portland, Oregon. I'm currently at work on a book-length essay about queerness on the page, bisexuality, and Carson McCullers, and I have an essay forthcoming at Catapult. I'm currently also probably listening to The National.
