Elle Maruska

Who I Am
Hi! I'm Elle. I'm a writer, a recovering academic, a cat-rescuer, a nonbinary bisexual mess, an expat, a critic, chronically ill and usually tired . You probably know me from Twitter where I talk about politics and books and make bad puns about the Rock. 

What you'll find here
My writing! Stories and poems mostly, as well as a few personal essays. I write character-driven speculative fiction that melds elements of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. My goal is to have something new here at least twice a week, whether that something new is a poem, a piece of flash fiction, or a short story

Why you should support me
Well first of all because I'm great

Lol but seriously. I am a queer, chronically and mentally ill mother living in a foreign country and I have very few work options. I want to share my words, share my stories and poems and I also want to help support my family as best I can. 


Thank you so much for taking the time to visit!! I hope you find something here that you enjoy <3
