Jessie Atkin learned to read later than most, but her sudden ability coincided with the release of the first Harry Potter book, and a reading obsession was born. Jessie also learned to love comic books, with a particular affinity for superheroes. Her work has appeared in The Rumpus, Flock Lit, Daily Science Fiction, Space and Time Magazine, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA in creative writing from American University. Jessie is also a lifelong fan of the New York Mets.
