Stories deserve to be found.
I write poetry rooted in earth and spirit, and I help indie authors write listings that lead readers to their books.
New poetry collection
Wild & Sacred
Poems of Earth and Spirit · October 31, 2026
My debut collection is a nature devotional in spare, incantatory free verse: for anyone who has felt more god in a forest than in a pew, who has mothered while chasing her own wildness, or who is only now learning to trust the whisper over the shout.
For authors
Your book is finished. Let’s help readers find it.
Three ways to work with an editor on the part of self-publishing nobody teaches you: the Amazon listing.
The editor’s field guide to the part of self-publishing nobody teaches you: the Amazon listing.
In about 90 minutes, this 14-page kit walks you through writing a book description that makes readers click “Read more,” choosing seven keyword phrases real shoppers actually search, picking your three categories strategically, and writing an author bio that builds trust.
Inside: the hook-setup-stakes-promise description formula with genre variations; a before-and-after listing makeover; the free Amazon autocomplete method and a seven-box keyword planner; a category worksheet; author bio templates in three lengths; six AI prompts plus the editor’s pass that makes the result sound like you; KDP’s AI disclosure rules in plain English; and pre-publish and launch-week checklists.
Instant PDF download. For personal use with your own books. Bonus: what you paid for the kit comes off either done-for-you package within 30 days.
Your Amazon listing, written by an editor, delivered in two business days.

Meet Jess
Hi, I’m Jess: a poet, an editor, and the founder of Literally Literary, a publication I’ve run since 2013 that now reaches more than 28,000 readers and hosts over 800 writers, and counting. I write about the life, land, the body, and the sacred, and I’m publishing my own collection through KDP this fall, so I know those blank listing boxes from both sides of the desk.
Not sure which option fits?
Tell me a little about your book and where you are in the publishing process. I’ll reply within one business day with an honest recommendation, even if it’s “you’ve got this, just grab the kit.”
