Hello! My name is Elise Maren

I am a poet, 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 Decomprosition Publishing House 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. I am a guest lecturer at my alma mater for their publishing course.

Fortunately, my work as a medical student involves a lot of writing and editing. Although I am a scientist, your book is in good hands. I am wholeheartedly invested in your success.

My first job was at an indie art shop, so I look forward to connecting emerging authors with local businesses who are happy to carry books from Decomprosition Publishing House. Schedule a free creative consulting session here.​
