Jess C Scott

Jess C Scott (born 1986) is an author of contemporary fiction. She writes in a variety of genres including erotic fiction, psychological thrillers, urban fantasy, young adult fiction, and cyberpunk. She currently lives in the U.S. state of Maine.

In a Word Riot interview, Scott mentions that the basic message in her work is "always the same: to be unafraid to be one's true self."

In December 2010, Scott's taboo-themed eBook, Wicked Lovely, was banned due to violations of Amazon Kindle's publishing guidelines. The reply from Amazon, as reported in The Register, boiled down to a simple statement that they would judge each case on its merit, and they would act as their own judge and jury in such cases. A revised edition was approved in 2011.

In 2011, Scott's first book in a YA seven deadly sins series, 1: The Intern, received 4.50 out of 5.00 stars (Reviewer Top Pick) from Night Owl Reviews.

In 2012, she was a guest speaker in New Word Order, a monthly series by The Arts House that discovers emerging talents in the literary arts scene. Scott was also a participating author in Singapore Writers Festival (SWF 2012), where she was on a debate team supporting the motion that women write better sex than men.

Scott is also the founder of jessINK, a company dedicated to publishing original stories that are both meaningful and entertaining, where the focus is on substance over short-term success with current fads and marketing hype.
