Shelley Jackson

About the Author

Shelley Jackson is a pioneering writer and artist whose innovative works blur the boundaries between literature, visual art, and digital media, challenging conventional notions of authorship and narrative. Born in the Philippines and raised in the United States, she earned a PhD in English from the University of Washington and has since become a leading figure in experimental writing. Jackson's projects often incorporate elements of hypertext, tattooed narratives, and collaborative storytelling, exploring themes of identity, memory, and the ephemeral nature of language. Her seminal anthology, Conceptualisms: The Anthology of Prose, Poetry, Visual, Found, E- & Hybrid Writing as Contemporary Art, showcases her commitment to hybrid forms that redefine contemporary art through literary lenses. With a career spanning novels, short stories, and multimedia installations, Jackson continues to inspire writers and artists to push the limits of expression in an increasingly digital world.
