Candice Wiswell, PhD

“We are made of stories.”
—Rebecca Solnit

Dr. Candice Wiswell is a poet, writer, ADHD writing coach, and developmental editor living in Northern Virginia. Her background in psychological research shapes much of her creative work, which often explores trauma, resilience, and the complex beauty of being human—with a touch of levity.

Her poetry has appeared in anthologies and literary journals, and her scientific research in peer-reviewed academic journals. She’s currently at work on her first novel and a poetry collection. When she’s not deep in words or ideas, she’s probably dancing in the living room with her five-year-old or trying to remember where she left her coffee.

She can be contacted here.
