about the author
Jeremy Tyler
Jeremy Tyler is an American memoirist, culinary artist, and wellness advocate whose work explores identity, trauma, resilience, and the lifelong struggle to belong. Best known for his memoir Fitting In, Jeremy writes with unflinching honesty about growing up as an outsider, surviving relentless bullying and abuse, navigating sexuality within rigid belief systems, and rebuilding life after a decade of incarceration in the United States federal prison system.
Jeremy’s writing is rooted in lived experience. His memoir examines the psychological impact of social isolation, body dysmorphia, religious conflict, and the long-term consequences of institutional systems that prioritize punishment over rehabilitation. Through deeply personal storytelling, he sheds light on life after prison, the failures of the prison-industrial complex, and the emotional cost paid not only by the incarcerated, but by their families as well.
