Hello! I'm Nori Rose, and I Write Things.

I am an independent author of horror and fantasy fiction from Austin, Texas. This is my portfolio website, where you can find information about my books, published works, upcoming events, snapshots of my author's life, and my best tips and tricks for writing!

For a complete collection of ways to connect with me, please visit my Linktree page. If you enjoy my work and are so inclined, you can commission a custom-written piece (or a tarot reading, if that's your thing) on Ko-fi!

A Little About Me

A Few Fun Facts:
  • I can name every English monarch from William the Conqueror to Charles III--in chronological order.
  • My grandfather was a cattle rancher who taught me how to ride a horse.
  • I won my first creative writing award in kindergarten.
  • I once lived with 40 tarantulas. (It's a very long story.)

I am the author of Cats Are Sluts and Hooves, Horns and Roses: Eight Erotic Stories. My short fiction, poetry, and nonfiction essays have appeared in The Rio Review, Feminine Inquiry, Musings of a #LonelyFeminist, Gingerbread House Literary Magazine, Hothouse, Corvid Queen, Crown & Pen, The Elephant Ladder, Mookeychick, Coffeetable Coven, Freque Magazine, wind-up mice journal, and Death Wish Poetry, as well as the anthologies The Medusa Project and Bi All Accounts. A collection of my original poems was incorporated into the ACC Department of Dance's summer informance in 2014. In 2020, I co-founded Crown & Pen, an independent e-zine for creative works in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and served as one of two editors until 2022. I have served as an editor for four literary magazines, including Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review, as well as the forthcoming anthology Into the Deep, Dark Woods from WordFire Press.

I’m an eighth-generation Texan who, according to literally everyone, lacks an accent. I hold an Associate of Arts in Creative Writing from Austin Community College and a BA in English from the University of Texas at Austin, and am a proud alumna of the Texas Tau chapter of Gamma Rho Lambda National Sorority. I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Publishing at Western Colorado University, with an expected graduation in July 2026, and I am interning as a book production associate at WordFire Press!

When I'm not doing bookish things, you can find me playing bass guitar, collecting tattoos, making needle crafts, baking curious concoctions, geeking out over horror movies, browsing indie bookstores, tending my little witch garden, attending the occasional anime or horror convention, and spending time with my partner, three highly opinionated rescue cats, and Bourke's parakeet who fill my life with mischief and joy.
