Hello, my name is Jessica . I am a writer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. You can find my work at The Week, Mental Floss, The Atlantic, Vox, The New York Times, and Foreign Policy, among many other places. I am presently writing my next book, ONE INCH FROM EARTH, which will be published by Custom House, an imprint of HarperCollins. It is about scientists who study the outer planets of the solar system, and will be finished eventually, I hope.
