Welcome to Jessica Pryde Dot Com! I’m Jess, a Professional Book Person and Blerd. I read books, write books, edit books, and even sell them! If there are words involved, I’m there. (And if you have a line on any narration work, hit a girl up.)
If you want to read more of my words, check out my anthology collection of essays, Black Love Matters! And if you’re into my short stories, I have one featured in the fantastic Someplace Generous, an inclusive collection of romantic stories by Generous Press. (We got a starred review in Publishers Weekly!)
For the time being, I mostly read and write about what other people have written, but stick around; that might change.
Follow me on threads and instagram. And see what I’m doing on TikTok (I took a break but might come back).
Read my stuff on Book Riot.
Listen to When in Romance, Book Riot’s biweekly romance podcast.
Check out my bookstore! It’s a pop-up right now, but things change.
Follow me on Medium, where I write about life and review Black romances and other love stories (Also on a break, but working towards coming back). Also, I started a Substack again. I might post there someday.
Subscribe to my newsletter, Happy Reading, which I might actually send every once in a while.
See what I’m reading. (And probably see more accurately what I’m reading.)
(And honestly, if you want to wander around my now-defunct books and music blog, Books And Beethoven, feel free. I had some good stuff to say.)
Stick around, friends. I’m doing big things.
