Jess Stiles

Jess Stiles is a children’s picture book author & illustrator residing in Nova Scotia, Canada. With a passion for old fishing towns and folklore, K-9s as much as felines, unusual pets, gardening, welding, piano, video games, teeny toys, and bourbon, Jess never runs out of ideas for her stories.

A proud mama of a human child and an awkward fur-child, Lovie Christmas the cat, Jess enjoys cuddles ‘n snuggles, movies ‘n snacks, fort-building ‘n ninja hide-and-seek. And of course, dancing like a maniac.

As an accomplished photographer and artist, Jess has sold her work privately throughout Canada and the US. And though she is self-taught, Jess has learned a great deal as a member of the KidLit community, SCBWI & 12×12, as well as participating in multiple critique groups and as a freelance picture book editor.

Jess has also taken Aree Chung’s course, Making Picture Book Stories and Dummies. Jess is actively building an online platform and presence and welcomes you to view and share her Instagram feed @_jessstiles.

Jess is, and always will be, a dance-machine extraordinaire.
