Jess Popplewell
Author of an invitation in the Dark London Anthology
Born and raised in Yorkshire, Jess holds degrees in English Literature and Creative Writing from Lancaster University and York St John University. For three years she worked with a charity to provide emergency accommodation to homeless young people, eventually supporting more than thirty teenagers from five countries before moving to London in late 2019.
She has been writing fiction for as long as she can remember with a focus on dark, magical themes – alchemy, underworlds, witchcraft and cults.
