Jessica George was born and raised in London to Ghanaian parents and studied English Literature at the University of Sheffield. After working at a literary agency and a theatre, she landed a job in the editorial department of a publishing house. She now lives in south west London with an incontrovertible sweet tooth and the knowledge that she can consume half a cake by herself if left to her own devices.

Jessica’s debut novel, MAAME, has been optioned by Thousand Voices (Jenna Bush Hager) and Universal International Studios, with Jessica to co-write the television series with Yemi Oyefuwa (EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE, DREAMING WHILST BLACK).

The Artists Partnership represents Jessica for her screenwriting.
