Hello!

My name is Jessica MacLeish, but everyone calls me Jess. And you can, too.

I'm a writer and book editor with a passion for pop culture and all forms of storytelling and media. I've written for Teen Vogue, The Ringer, Paste Magazine, Fashionista, Vulture, and more, including books for HarperCollins, Scholastic, and Abrams.

(P.S. Some of my books are published under the name Grace Mack; visit Books I Wrote for more info.)

Middle grade/YA fiction? Adult memoir? Self-help? Essays/humor? Guided journals & activity books? Pop culture/fandom deep dives? Audiobook scripts? IP/licensed writing? Thrillers? Romance? YES, AND.

Explore my portfolio and check out my writing work, as well as the editorial services I offer (and the all-important client testimonials!). I can’t wait to work with you.
