Stories, side-eyes, and useful truths.

Side-Eye Ink is the creative home of Jill Wilson—author, advocate, artist, and curious observer of identity, life’s unexpected plot twists, and the general weirdness of being human.

Book cover titled "OFF MY CHEST" with subtitle "A Breast Cancer Memoir of Hellfire, Healing, and Radical Acceptance" by Jill Wilson, featuring dark background with orange and red text and graphics.

The book behind the side-eye.

Off My Chest: A Breast Cancer Memoir of Hellfire, Healing, and Radical Acceptance

A candid, funny, and unsentimental memoir about cancer, identity, and trying to remain a whole person inside a medical system determined to reduce you to body parts.

With dry wit and unvarnished reflection, Jill traces the emotional and practical aftermath of a life abruptly rerouted. The result is a deeply human account that refuses easy answers, forced optimism, and the expectation that every difficult experience must become an inspirational lesson.

Following the questions that won’t leave quietly.

Side-Eye Ink is where Jill follows her curiosity into questions of identity, belonging, reinvention, and the systems and stories that shape our lives. Expect essays, useful resources, creative projects, and occasional observations about the general absurdity of being a person.
