Welcome!

Hi! I’m Jess. I’m an Australian children’s author with a background in speech pathology. My books celebrate imagination, inclusivity, and diverse ways of seeing the world through a neurodivergent lens.

My CBCA Notable debut picture book, Bernie Thinks in Boxes, was selected for the 2025 Victorian Government Prep Bags.

My second book, Train of Thought, is out now!

“Jess is one of my favourite writers for children. Her stories are inclusive, super fun but full of genius, lightbulb moments … celebrating those gorgeous neurodivergent kids and adults … she smashes stereotypes and creates an exciting story that everyone will want to read.”
