Welcome to the abode of Elise Carlson, YA Fantasy author!
I’m an Australian, non-binary writer and my pronouns are they/ them. On my blog, you’ll find editing, querying and indie author advice.
My pages feature my Epic YA Fantasy books, my SciFi-Fantasy series, external links to my favourite writer resources. There’s also more about yours truly, and a chance to nab yourself a free action-adventure fantasy story, should you be inclined to join my newsletter.
My pages also detail myriad ways to contact me.
As a diverse author, I’m passionate about diverse books, so you’ll find lists of those linked by LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, disability and BIPOC characters and or authors, on my Diverse books & Book Bundles page.

Congratulations on your site! It’s great! I found it via Twitter. I’m a newbie and a writing enthusiast. It’s nice to see someone who wants to publish traditionally like me. Good luck with your novel. When you get your agent, you know it will be a good seller! Kudos again!
Thanks so much Jacob!
Lovely site.
