S.E. Armitage is a Canadian author based in the Arctic, balancing a career in the geospatial field with a passion for storytelling. Her writing lands within the chaotic intersection of trauma, love, healing, and acceptance.
Her debut novel is a contemporary romance exploring the complexities of romantic, platonic, and familial love, the weight of past experiences, and learning to trust in unexpected ways. Drawn to fiction about flawed people and complicated relationships, Armitage has written The Next Phase of Ourselves as an emotionally driven story that embraces the challenges of undiagnosed neurodivergence and the messiness of human connection.
Outside of writing, Armitage can be found in a battle to the death with perimenopause, undiagnosed ADHD, and her cat, Loki. Her hobbies include playing bass in a metal band that can’t find a drummer, hosting karaoke with fellow misfits, and getting lost in virtual worlds on her PS5 when she remembers she has one. She is, frankly, shocked she finished her first draft.
