About the author

Hiya, I’m Jess, a twenty-eight-year-old author, freelance journalist and former editor working on my debut novel. Not to mention a professional fan girl (read celeb interviewer) and oversharer on the internet.

By day, I’m writing about film, culture, women’s issues and TV for outlets such as Stylist, Radio Times, Cosmo, Elle, The Guardian and Rolling Stone. By night, I’m a dress-obsessed, dog mum and Marvel nerd who loves a night in, travel and spending time with friends and family.

About my Substack

In a nutshell, twenty-late is about the highs, lows and hot takes of this period of my life straddling adulthood and girlhood. It’s about the unexpected paths life takes us on, the wonders and the worries, what expected of us (especially as women) and the great reads and watches in between.

As a words girl, there’s naturally a lot of writing chat too, as well as a peek behind the shiny facade of freelancing. It’ll cover everything from failure to body image, confidence and careers.
