Elise Kim is a high school student in San Diego, California. When she isn't studying or writing, she enjoys cultivating her ever-growing collection of mechanical typewriters and fancy wooden pencils. She plans to continue studying English and storytelling in the future, and has several longer writing projects in the works.

When did you start writing?

At age six. It started with a story about a princess with waffles in her hair, and it just got worse from there.

When and what and where did you first get published?

I'm pleased to say that NewMyths is my first publication!

Why do you write?

There's very little space for daydreaming in this world otherwise.

Why do you write Science Fiction and/or Fantasy?

Imagination always seems like something children have, then lose as they grow up; my goal in writing in the speculative fiction genre is to hang on to that imagination for as long as possible. I love the freedom that comes from throwing the rules of reality out the window.

What are you trying to say with your fiction?

I try to say things with my fiction, but success isn't always guaranteed. If someone reads my work and, at the least, feels the importance of genuine human connection, then that's good enough.
