Jack Little (b. 1987, London) is a British-Mexican writer, translator and teacher who started The Ofi Press firstly to have an excuse to contact his favourite writers from around the world and also as a means to give exposure to young Mexican writers by publishing their work in both English and Spanish.

After graduating from Durham University in 2009, Jack left his spiritual home of Newcastle to live in the buzzing metropolis of Mexico City. He has lived there for seven years working as an editor of school books, sports coach and teacher. His claim to fame was representing the national Mexico cricket team during two tours of Central America.

Since arriving to Mexico, Jack completed a creative writing course at the UNAM, finished his PGCE through Buckingham University with an "outstanding" grade, completed an A-level in Spanish and graduated with an MA in Education. He is a founding member of the Mexico City International Writers' Circle which ran from 2012-2014, a small writers' collective which came out of the Ofi Press Poetry Nights. Since 2013, he has been married to a wonderful lady from Mexico City. He has been a naturalised Mexican since December 2015 and holds dual British-Mexican citizenship.

Jack lived in Palma de Mallorca in Spain for a year between the summers of 2016 and 2017 but recently moved back to Mexico City where he is currently applying to local universities to hopefully study for a PhD in the field of Education.
