Jessica Grace Kelley

Jessica Grace Kelley began writing novels after two years as a book blogger at allthewayya and lifegonewrite.com. She is an alumna of Author Mentor Match, and her manuscripts have won several awards and contests, including the YA Molly Award, the Emma Merritt Award, and First Place in the YA Authors.me Contest. She is represented by literary agent Christa Heschke at McIntosh and Otis and is currently working on her fourth fantasy novel.

When she’s not buried in books, Jessica serves as the Youth Program Director at The Muse Writers Center, where she oversees all youth programming, including classes, events, community partnerships, and the high school internship program. She especially enjoys working with teens and is the founding instructor of the Teen Writers Fellowship, where she continues to teach fiction and has mentored hundreds of young writers over the years.
