Victoria Zeller is a transgender writer based in Buffalo, New York, where she was born and raised. Initially pursuing a career in sports journalism, she transitioned to writing fiction centered on queer characters navigating complex lives. Her sports commentary has been featured in Defector, and she shares real-time sports analysis under the handle @dirtbagqueer.rocks on Bluesky.
Zeller's work often explores themes of identity, resilience, and the intersections of queerness with everyday challenges. Drawing from her background as a former football player and lifelong sports enthusiast, she infuses her narratives with dynamic energy and sharp wit. While her early writing focused on sports reporting, she has since carved a niche in crafting stories about marginalized characters who defy expectations.
Though primarily known for her nonfiction contributions, Zeller continues to expand her literary footprint with fiction that resonates with LGBTQ+ audiences. Her distinctive voice blends humor and raw honesty, reflecting her deep connection to both her hometown and the broader queer community.
