What readers think
As a writer and a humanist, Jessey has a unique capacity for approaching her characters with empathy, courage, and depth. She is a deeply human writer with a feel for both the dramatic and the philosophically rich elements of the human experience.
Jessey is fantastic at immersing readers in her characters' experience, even when that character isn't human! Her writing is rich and engaging, and ranges from heartbreaking trauma to heartwarming connection with great authenticity.
"Jessey Valentine runs the gamut of the human experience with a deft hand. The people who populate her world will touch your heart and -- more often than not -- hit your funny bone."

Here's a short piece to inspire your creativity: "As a closet writer, I once feared sharing my words, worried I might be a mediocre storyteller. Yet, over the past five years, kindness of those who read my drafts has nurtured my craft. I love exploring new ideas and discovering what resonates deeply within me. The greatest joy comes when my own words make me laugh or bring tears to my eyes."
