WHO IS THIS WOMAN?
Jessica Dorfman Jones has been a lawyer, a literary agent, a book packager, a publicist, an editor and a ghostwriter. She's also an eavesdropper, buttinsky and sly cocktail party guest. Jessica's voracious appetite for knowledge about the world around her, the people she meets, why they do what they do and why she does the crazy stuff she does all combine to make her an observant writer who frequently puts her own life on the page to get a larger conversation going.
Jessica Jones' inquiring mind has prompted her to write articles and books which have been published as well as optioned for film and television. Jessica's provocative sensibilities have also inspired other people to write about her, sometimes very nicely and sometimes not. But, as Oscar Wilde would have it, at least they're talking.
