WHO IS THIS MASKED WEIRDO?

I’m Cat Hellisen, I live in Scotland, eat a lot of ice cream*, and write dark, off-kilter fantasy novels, short stories, and poetry.

My work tends to be queer, and sometimes a bit weird. I love nonbinary characters, slightly poly relationships, broken people saving each other with their love, and other sappy stuff.

As long as you’re okay with the occasional bit of semi-hot cannibalism, you’re in the right place.

Subscribe to my newsletter for stuff about me, writing tips, and news about what’s going on, where I’m going to be, and what I’m writing now.

Depending on how exciting life is, you can probably expect a newsletter every Friday.

WILL YOU HAVE TO PAY?

NOPE.

My content - including all writing tips, and all publishing-related news and resources - will always be free.

The only things I want money for are my books. Because, yanno, being a starving artist isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Yep, you’re welcome to chat or leave comments and suggestions via the subscriber comment button underneath all posts.

Ping me if there are any writing or publishing topics you want me to talk about.

Cheers!

Cat
