J.L. Fernquest
Her Story
JL writes what most people are afraid to admit. A former high-functioning perfectionist turned truth-teller, she’s walked through postpartum darkness, suburban streets, and the quiet hell of performing a life that no longer fits.
Her voice is sharp, funny, and fiercely alive—equal parts literary craft and lived experience. She writes to make sense of the unraveling, to laugh at the edge, and to offer language for the things women whisper in secret.
She lives somewhere between breakdown and breakthrough, is deeply allergic to bullshit, and remains—despite everything—a mother, a writer, and a woman who’s still becoming.
