Elsa McClaren

Elsa writes stories for people who carry things they can’t explain. Her work explores the space between truth, memory, and the things we set on fire just to see what survives.
Forgotten history.

She writes under a pen name—not to hide, but to give the work room to breathe. Sometimes it’s easier to tell the truth when you’re wearing someone else’s shoes. Sometimes a name is a container for the stories the real world isn’t ready to hold.

Her stories have been passed between friends, scribbled in Notes apps, and whispered aloud at kitchen tables. Now, she's sharing them with the world, one piece at a time.

Elsa believes that small fiction can hold big truths—and that a single sentence, carefully placed, can linger longer than a novel.

She lives somewhere quiet, writes in bursts, and doesn’t always remember what’s fact and what’s fiction. That’s part of the charm.

Why Sunday Stories?
Sundays are the space between.
The place where memory rises - and the words have room to land.
