Jillian Abby

Jillian Abby (Questrom’04) of Tampa, Fla., writes that she has followed a roundabout career path—from CPA with Deloitte to licensed massage therapist in the Dominican Republic to craft beer bar owner and now copywriter and author. Jillian writes, “Last year, I submitted my memoir to Hay House Publishing in a global contest and it won! My book, Chronic Case of Hetero, a story about coming out later in life and falling in love with oneself, will be published on April 25, 2023, for Lesbian Visibility Week. I also launched my blog, QueerAbby.com, last fall and have received praise for my writing from Franco Stevens, Curve Magazine founder and winner of GLAAD’s Barbara Gittings Award for Excellence in LGBTQ Media.” Visit www.QueerAbby.com.
