Jessica Brody, 30, knew from a young age that she wanted to be a writer. She started self "publishing" her own books when she was seven years old, binding the pages together with cardboard, wallpaper samples and electrical tape.

After graduating from Smith College in 2001 where she double majored in Economics and French and minored in Japanese, Jessica later went on to work for MGM Studios as a Manager of Acquisitions and Business Development. In May of 2005, Jessica quit her job to follow her dream of becoming a published author. Between 2006 and 2007, Jessica sold two adult novels to St. Martin's Press and two young adult novels to Farrar, Straus, Giroux. The Fidelity Files, her debut, is now available in stores (in real binding) and the follow-up, Love Under Cover, is slated for publication in November 2009. The Karma Club, Jessica's debut YA novel will be released in May 2010.

The Fidelity Files has recently been optioned to Marina Grasic, the executive producer of Crash as a television series and has already been sold in the UK, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, China, and Taiwan (to date). Click here for a full list of foreign sales and publishers.

Jessica now works as a freelance writer and producer in Los Angeles. To read about Jessica's other projects, including short stories, music and film, please click here.
