Traditional TV/film:

Jess has two completed pilot scripts. Her work includes a half-hour children’s/family pilot, “Take the Reins,” which is an adaptation of her best-selling book and part of the Canterwood Crest series. The script made Coverfly’s Red List and trended as one of the top half-hour TV family scripts. Her second pilot is an hour-long children’s/family show and is an adaptation of the first book in the Saddlehill Academy series. 

Jess would love to write for TV of all genres and age categories! She’s interested in selling her established IP and working on original content. She is also co-writing holiday and romance scripts for TV with her partner, Romily Bernard. They have two completed Christmas scripts and a basketball WNBA-inspired TV-movie romance and are hard at work on their third Christmas film.
