Jessica Bell, Publisher

As well as being the founder and publisher of the press, she is the one responsible for all the cover designs and coordinating and editing the monthly SPILL IT! column. She is a hands-on team member that nurtures her authors, and insists that she be the one to sort through the query letters before passing them on for further consideration. Being an author and all-round creative person herself, she understands the needs of her kind. This is why she started a private VLP group on Facebook where members (authors and staff only) can support eachother and their work. Jessica has worked years to establish an extremely friendly and happy environment at Vine Leaves Press in order to motivate creativity and productivity. She got her wish. If you become a VLP author, you become a part of a loyal and enthusiastic family of book lovers that will bend over backwards to help you out.
