About Me

Jessica Gandola

Hi, I'm Jessica!
As a child of the '90s, I’ve always loved reading, but it wasn’t until well after university that I discovered romance—and with it, the dream of working with books.

After ten years as a book blogger and various roles in Italian publishing, I decided it was time to create something real and concrete, fueled by my passion.

In 2023, I founded Ink Literary PR: an agency dedicated to helping romance authors who self-publish in Italy, as well as Italian publishers connect with Italian readers through digital events, leveraging the network of over 200 bloggers and creators who collaborate with the agency.

Starting in 2024, I also offer translation services from English to Italian for authors who want to self-publish in Italian, as well as for Italian publishers.

As a translator, my approach goes beyond simply converting words from English to Italian; it’s about preserving the soul of the story. I ensure the emotional depth, character voices, and narrative flow are maintained in Italian, so the story captivates Italian readers just as it does English-speaking ones

To guarantee high-quality standards, I also collaborate with experienced proofreaders and editors.

I wish for a world where love is taught as love, no matter its form. A world where being passionate about something different from what most people love sparks curiosity, not disdain. A world where being kind is the norm.
