About
George Elmer

A dark urban fantasy author.

Witty Author. Part-time historian. Total nerd. Will talk for hours about the Early Middle Ages.

George Elmer has had her head in the underworld telling stories since she was old enough to know how to write. She spent her childhood reading books far above her age group’s reading level and daydreaming about the evil fairies in the garden. Many projects, including a high school collaboration with two friends and multiple NaNoWriMo attempts, fizzled out before they got going.

She’s started more story projects than twice her age squared but didn’t stop attempting to finish just one.

It was in her last year at university (BSc with honours in Psychology and Criminology) where George finally completed a novel in the 2017 NaNoWriMo. She based this novel of witches in NYC on the many stories floating around her head she’d never expanded on before.

The “proper” job everyone thought she should get after finishing her formal education never agreed with her. Since graduating university in 2018, she’s had many jobs that never lasted longer than a year. If she isn’t researching various folklores or obscure scientific or mythological trivia, she’s probably reading whichever book holds her current interest (or rereading a favourite), learning French, or completing yet another unofficial diploma. Her current diplomas are in Egyptology and Arthurian Legends. She fears for anyone who checks her internet search history.

BEHIND the PEN

I’m George—Gee for short. i’m an Enneagram 4 to my core, vintage fashion girl, constantly full of wanderlust, and a reluctant hiker.

Known for her signature modern-vintage style, relaxed approach, and iconic wit. Her writing style sits at the cross-section of in-the-moment sarcastic narrative and the kind of gothic horror themes she hopes will haunt you forever.

I believe great stories transcend mediums, classic rock is eternal, and debate between whether coffee or meditation solves most of my problems.
