Jessica Faust has long had a mission to make publishing more inclusive through the titles, authors, and illustrators BookEnds agents represent. All agents at BookEnds are actively seeking #ownvoices and diverse books across all genres. For Jessica this means specifically with a focus on mystery, suspense, thrillers, upmarket, literary, and women's fiction. In nonfiction, her focus is primarily on business, entrepreneurship, career, personal growth, current affairs, health and wellness, and self-help. Jessica has represented a number of New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors.

Jessica began her career in 1994 as an acquisitions editor at Berkley Publishing, Macmillan, and Wiley. In addition to nearly 15 years of blogging, Jessica has a regular role on the BookEnds YouTube channel, has taught at New York University's Continuing Education Program, and has been honored by a number of different publishing organizations.
