edit data

I’m Jessica Stanley, an Australian novelist living in London.

I grew up in Melbourne, studied in Canberra, and worked in journalism, on the set of the TV show Neighbours, for the trade union movement, and in advertising.

Since moving to the UK in 2011, I’ve been working as a freelance copywriter while writing fiction. My Australian first novel A Great Hope was published in 2022.

My new novel Consider Yourself Kissed will be published internationally in Spring/Summer 2025.

I live in East London with my husband and our three children.

Quotes by Jessica Stanley (?)

“And if she felt like a door had closed somewhere, that a complex experience was being tidied away without being fully understood, that she was alone in still interrogating it—that was a small price to pay for his acceptance, his support, his love.”
― Jessica Stanley, Consider Yourself Kissed

“Someone has to be there to hold you in their mind as you are holding the baby. It doesn’t have to be your mother. It doesn’t have to be a partner. But someone. You need to be looked after too.”
― Jessica Stanley, Consider Yourself Kissed
