Jes Malitoris

By day I work in books marketing for an academic press; by night, I write short form and longform speculative fiction, with a preference for weird, folkloric fantasy and horror. 

I am a trained historian, earning my PhD in 20th century US history from Duke University in 2019 with a focus on gender, family, and race. It always always informs my writing, whether through historical inspirations or through thematic interests in power and the way we use stories.
