About us

At Jester Publications, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. Founded and led by author and editor Hope Bytheway, the pen name of Lorraine Watson, we’re passionate about bringing stories to life with care, creativity, and a touch of magic.

Whether crafting original fiction or guiding others through the publishing process, we believe every story deserves to be told in a way that honours its creator’s vision.

With years of experience and a deep love of language, Hope combines editorial skill with heartfelt storytelling to shape books that truly resonate with readers. Every narrative is a journey, and we’re honoured to be part of yours.
