Jessica Gilkison was born and raised in Madison by a mom who showed her it was never too late to start writing. First, though, she drove the Wienermobile, went to law school, worked in health and disability advocacy, and taught graduate and professional students. Now, Jessica volunteers on the Literary Team at Arts+Literature Laboratory where she hosts online Write-Ins and is the editor of ALL Review. She writes personal essays, flash nonfiction, and is working on her first book, a memoir. Jessica’s work has appeared in the anthology, The Walls Between Us: Essays In Search of Truth. She and her husband have two dogs and a kid in college.
