Jason F. Wright is a New York Times bestselling author from Charlottesville, Virginia, known primarily for inspirational fiction rooted in themes of generosity, family, and faith. He has lived in Germany, Illinois, Oregon, and Utah, and his writing has appeared in publications including the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Forbes, and CNN.
His debut book, Christmas Jars (2005), is a novella about a journalist who discovers a community tradition of filling glass jars with spare change and donating them anonymously to those in need. The book became a bestseller and inspired a real-world charitable movement, with thousands of people participating in the Christmas Jars tradition each holiday season. The story was adapted into a film in 2019. Wright has returned to that world across five books, including reunion stories and adaptations for younger readers.
Beyond the Christmas Jars series, Wright has written eleven standalone novels and six non-fiction books, covering themes from grief and recovery to faith and resilience. Works like The Wednesday Letters (2007) and Recovering Charles (2008) demonstrate his range within inspirational fiction, while his non-fiction titles such as Seen, Loved, Lifted (2019) and Rise Today (2023) address spiritual and motivational subjects more directly.
