About:
Jessica Faroy is a writer and editor with interests in food, culture, and literature. She has worked with independent publishers in Miami, specializing in cookbooks, art books, and children’s literature. As the Publishing Director at Tra, she oversees publicity, sales, and acquisitions. Originally from Havana, she now lives in Miami.
Tra Publishing creates beautifully crafted books that celebrate art in all its forms, as well as its creators. Founded in 2016 in Miami, the impetus for Tra was to produce beautiful, substantial, and special books that readers experience physically. Particular emphasis is placed on the physical components of the bookmaking process, resulting in books that are works of art and modes of expression in and of themselves.
