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!
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.
Who are you? Message me!
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.
