Jessica MacLeish
Jess is an Editor at HarperCollins Children’s Books, where she works on a list of mostly YA and middle-grade fiction, encompassing all genres: sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary realistic, speculative, humor, what have you. She particularly enjoys books that inspire some kind of emotional reaction, whether it’s laughing, crying, or laughing so hard she eventually starts crying. Some of the authors she’s worked with include Neil Gaiman, Walter Dean Myers, Kwame Alexander, Fred Aceves, Amy Giles, Sally J. Pla, and more.
