Jess Gilbert

Literary Agent

Jess Gilbert grew up in the heart of the Midwest and is passionate about helping authors bring their creative visions to life. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Wesleyan University and joined the agency in the spring of 2025.

When she’s not reading, she enjoys traveling, exploring the outdoors, and binge-watching Supernatural.

She is open to working with both debut and established authors. Jess is actively seeking compelling literary and commercial fiction, most genre fiction, and will consider select YA.

Please note, she is probably not the right fit for non-fiction projects.
