Meet Wendy J. Fox, an acclaimed author and literary advocate whose work captures the quiet intensity of human experience. The author of five books of fiction, Wendy’s storytelling explores identity, connection, and resilience across the landscapes of the American West and beyond.
Her celebrated works include What If We Were Somewhere Else — winner of the Colorado Book Award — and If the Ice Had Held, a LitHub “Top Pick in Audio.” Her forthcoming novel, The Last Supper, continues her tradition of crafting stories that balance heart and honesty with elegant precision.
Beyond her novels, Wendy’s voice has reached readers through national outlets including Self, Business Insider, BuzzFeed, and Ms., and she authors a column for Electric Literature spotlighting standout works from traditional small presses.
