Jessica C. Wheeler is a Connecticut-based author and poet known for her lyrical prose, emotional precision, and a dry, understated perspective on contemporary life. Her writing spans across genres, including poetry, contemporary romance, upmarket fiction, and sharp-edged satire, as seen in her short story collection She’s Fine, which explores the polished absurdities of womanhood and the quiet catastrophes we disguise as composure. Her stories often circle grief, family, and the complicated performance of being ‘fine’ in a world that rarely is.

Wheeler resides on the Connecticut coast with her husband and their two young daughters and is currently developing her forthcoming novel.
