Hi, I’m Made of Words.
I’m Jess van Roekel – a freelance writer, a voracious reader, and a mother of two. I enjoy writing about motherhood, psychology, books, slow living, and sustainability – the list (really does) go on. My clients are laser-focused on improving lives and it’s a privilege to write their content. Whether you’re here as a reader or a potential client (or both) – hello and welcome!
