Hello! My name is Elise Maren

I am a writer, artist, and medical student enthusiastic about helping other creatives bring their literary and visual dreams to fruition. I have considered writing professionally from the age of 16 and created Decomprose to make publishing and promotion more accessible for myself and others.

​I have a BS/BA in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and Chemistry, but I have pursued creative writing opportunities as extracurriculars. For example, I formed a poetry group called the Oxford Commas and edited for an Oxford student journal. I have been a regular contributor to Lavender Magazine since 2022.
