Elayna Mae Darcy is an author, podcast host, and chaotic good bard from Philadelphia. (Go birds!)

With a Film & Media Arts degree from Temple University, they have spent the last decade deeply involved in fandom communities, co-founding the local publisher, Elixir Verse Press, and releasing three books, UNRAVELING LIGHT (2018), DARKNESS UNDONE (2020), and the YA fantasy novel in verse, STILL THE STARS (2022).

They have had pieces published in the Wizards in Space, Impostor Lit, just femme & dandy, and Limited Editions, and usually can be found in a local library or snuggling with their cat, Bean.
