E.S. is a writer based in Portland, Oregon, living with their beautiful wife and two ungovernable dogs often mistaken for small horses. Their work is driven by an appetite for ruin, drawn to desire, power, and intimacy where things get messy and honest. They write to make people feel seen in their darkest, most guilt-soaked thoughts, the ones no one admits to having and assumes mean they are broken or damned. E.S. is interested in the truths we hide, the feelings we are taught to fear, and the uncomfortable reality that the things we don’t talk about are often the things we share most. Their work pushes back against the stigma of feeling deeply, arguing that connection begins with honesty, and that being human has always been more complicated, and more normal, than we are told.
