Elliot J. West (he/they) is a multi-genre author and TTRPG designer. His works focus on LGBTQ+ voices and themes of nature, belonging, and cozy adventures.​

​

Elliot is currently pursuing a BA in Creative Writing. He plans to use this degree to continue his participation in writing-based charity events, such as the 2025 TTRPGS For Trans Rights, which raised over $88,000 for LGBTQ+ charities in Ohio. Stay up to date with Elliot's upcoming work and fundraisers by following them (@elliotjwest) on Instagram and by reading their blog.​

Elliot began writing when he was 7 for his elementary school's newspaper (he wrote the short story column). After this, they never quite put back down the proverbial pen. Now, Elliot is proud to be a professional game designer and author who gets to share his writing with the world.

​

​When Elliot isn't writing, they enjoy drinking tea, playing games, and sending their friends photos of animals in hats. He lives in the Southern USA with his husband and their three cats (Ciri, Jaskier, and Moth).
