Jesse Doogan is a writer and editor living outside of Chicago.

About

She writes books that show children the wonders of the world and teach them about the creative life.

As a kid, Jesse spent her days reading under old oak trees and her nights reading under the covers with a flashlight. As an adult, she’s never far away from a good book, whether at work or play. She writes books that show children the wonders of the world and teach them about the creative life.  

Jesse holds an MFA in Writing for Young Adults from Hamline University. While a student, her work won the Frances and Kermit Rudolf Nonfiction Scholarship and the Anne Stickney Schmidt Scholarship in Young People's Literature.  

When she’s not reading or writing, she’s tackling an elaborate project bake or gardening with her family.
