*Literary Agent, educator*

Jessica Berg is the founder and director of Rosecliff Literary, where she champions bold, emotionally resonant fiction and narrative nonfiction that refuse to play it safe. A literary agent, author, and former developmental editor with an MFA in Fiction from Spalding University, she brings a rare blend of editorial precision, creative empathy, and real-world pragmatism to every project she takes on.Her list includes character-driven upmarket and historical fiction, supernatural suspense, dual-timeline stories, and voice-driven nonfiction that explore what drives us. She represents a diverse roster of authors including ZS Diamanti, Lisa Roe, Trisha Blanchett, Christa Innis, Katia Sinchenko, Vincent Zandri, and Arizona Bell.Having been on both sides of the desk, Jessica knows how vulnerable and how powerful the publishing process can be. She’s passionate about making the industry more transparent, equitable, and inclusive, especially for authors forging their own paths or coming from indie backgrounds.As a contributing editor for Writer’s Digest and a national speaker, Jessica teaches the practical side of authorship most writers never get explained: how to position a book in the market, identify the right comp titles, build authentic platforms, and query with clarity. Her workshops blend editorial insight with business strategy, giving writers a grounded, encouraging roadmap to publication and long-term creative sustainability.Through Rosecliff, she’s redefining what it means to be a writer with ambition: grounded in craft, guided by curiosity, and unafraid to take up space.You can learn more about Jessica and Rosecliff Literary at rosecliffliterary.com, follow her on Instagram at @jessica__berg, and find agency updates at @roseclifflit.
