About Me

A round-faced white woman with plum lips, large rainbow glasses, and short, dark, asymmetrical hair.

Elise

What I Write

Good stories inspire us by asking powerful questions.


What in ourselves and our world is worth fighting for? 


What's worth saving? 


I don't have all the answers, but I hope you'll join me in searching for them.


Chaos.

Hope.

Kittens!



Who I Am

Community

I am fat, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, mentally ill, kinky, and nonbinary.


I am a single mom, a caregiver to elderly and disabled animals, a vegan cheese-maker, and a back-woods bootlegger.


I am friendly and loyal with a dark, offbeat sense of humor.


I am all of these things, but none of them define me.

Elise's Bio

Elise Scott writes from their lived experiences of queerness, disability, neurodivergence, fat-positivity, and petting three cats with two hands. Their life has been an adventure, from facilitating equine therapy for trauma survivors to counseling at-risk youth with the aid of an inordinately large sub-woofer and beyond. They earned their BA from Mount Holyoke and their MS from Capella University. Their debut novel, a cozy mystery featuring three kittens with the ability to bend the laws of physics, who must solve a murder to save their rescuer from the human pound, is forthcoming from Crooked Lane in May 2026. Elise is a 3rd place Not Quite Write Prize winner and Best-of-the-Net nominee. Their short work has appeared/is forthcoming in The Advocate, Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, The Not Quite Write Anthology 2025, The B'K, Five Minutes, Knee Brace, All Existing, and Quibble, among others. Find out what they’re working on now at http://elise-scott.com.
