Jessica is a writer, editor and permaculturist from Sydney who sees book manuscripts as complex ecologies and brings a holistic, permaculturalist perspective to all she does, including editing, community gardening, sustainability, and human rights. She has edited books that won accolades such as the Prime Minister's Prize, Premier's Literary Awards, The Age Book of the Year and many others. She spent the pandemic in her element, baking, cooking, saving and raising seed, and (remotely) helping communities transition to more holistic ways. 

In this episode, recorded in November 2020, Jessica reads ‘We Were Made for These Times’ by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
