Wendy Wimmer is the author of Entry Level, a story collection that received the 2021 Autumn House Fiction Prize. In this public event, Wimmer will read from her work and participate in a Q&A with the gathered audience.

The Washington Post called Entry Level one of the short story collections worth reading for Fall 2022, and People magazine called it “gleefully subversive.” The book was also named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Indie Short Fiction list for 2022 and was an honoree for the Society of Midland Authors 2023 Book Awards. Wimmer’s novel, The Doomscroller’s Companion, is forthcoming from the University of Wisconsin Press in Fall 2026. She lives in Wisconsin.
