"Jess's ability to shape narrative, communicate clearly and improve the clarity of others’ writing, is exceptional. In the work we do, threading the needle between creating a narrative that is engaging and impactful, and retaining the author’s and/or interviewee’s voice, is critical and she did it beautifully. Being an excellent communicator, she was very good at navigating tricky conversations and drawing out a writer’s best.

She worked with Hyphen’s house style, which she applied consistently, and never missed a deadline.

At all times, she was an absolute joy to work with and we were very sorry to lose her to the US."

Val Movtagnana-Wallace, owner of Hyphen Publishing.

“We love working with Jess! In the 2+ years we have engaged her support as a freelance writer, I have heard consistently from colleagues how much they enjoy working with Jess. She is a thoughtful and skilled writer with the ability to bring simplicity, nuance, and style to our messages.

From season campaigns to music-specific copy to corporate messaging, Jess is able to flex her writing style and tone to fit our needs - and often hits the mark on the first try. Jess can take a kernel of an idea and build out compelling, creative copy options, and she's a collaborative partner on complex projects requiring multiple rounds of review. Jess is truly an ideal partner to support your organization's writing needs.”

Anna Ress, Sr Director, Communications, LA Phil

“Jess was wonderful to collaborate and work with – she has a real knack for turning ideas into influential content with an eye on the bigger picture of brand, style and audience needs.

She is an expert in bringing clarity and signaling purpose through her writing and was hugely reliable working across diverse channels (advertising, corporate reports, and customer communications) and in meeting tight timelines.

I look forward to working with Jess again.”
