Jessica Hieb is an author, painter, and the founder of In The Name Publishing, a hybrid publishing house devoted to championing faith-rooted stories. A child of God first, Jessica's creative work reflects the redemption, purpose, and hope she's found in her walk with Him. Through ITN Publishing and Power Magazine, she strives to build platforms that uplift Christian creatives and honor the testimonies God has written into their lives.Jessica writes faith-based psychological thrillers and children's books, exploring her own experiences through one and healing them through the other. Storytelling has been part of her life for as long as she can remember, and painting soon followed - especially seascapes, boats, and landscapes that allow her to get lost in color and quiet for hours. She has also used her art to support fellow authors, creating both cover art and illustrations.Living on her family's property in Kansas, Jessica is surrounded by a lively crew of animals - dogs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and more - who bring joy, chaos, and endless inspiration. When she's not creating, she enjoys reading, poetry, board games, old-school Nintendo, and time on the porch with family.Her dream is for In The Name Publishing to grow into a thriving network of Christian creatives, expanding beyond books into a broader platform that celebrates their gifts and the God who gave them. She's grateful for every step of the journey and invites readers and creators alike to join her and her team as ITN continues to grow.
