About KJB

Since its inception, Kaylie Jones Books has had a mission to publish authors whose works are socially conscious and shed a light on ways people can change or are changed by their traumas, especially in the midst of their darkest hours. The Kaylie Jones Team is interested in literary fiction that demonstrates an awareness of craft, that is structurally sound, and that engages the reader in deeper thought about the forces that drive the protagonist to change or to fail.

As a dedicated teacher of writers, Kaylie Jones gets to work with writers who wrestle with the best way to build and craft and shape their stories. She has experienced how difficult it can be for break-out writers to be seen or heard in the cacophony that surrounds mainstream publishing. It is from this combination of civil engagement and an eye for well-crafted stories that Kaylie Jones Books came to be.
