A Warm Welcome
My name is Annika Sage Ellis, welcome to my website! I’ve been writing and storytelling basically my whole life. I made up stories to tell myself when I was bored, I kept multiple journals and diaries throughout my childhood, and I obsessed over my favorite books. I’ve been reading voraciously since I was taught—I thought the program my parents bought to teach me how to read was so fun I wanted to learn how to read again—with my most prominent inspirations being J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, Eavan Boland, Robert Frost, and plenty others!
I started writing more robust fiction in late-elementary to early-middle school, and it was around that time I also began writing poetry. The hobby escalated until it was the only thing I could ever see myself doing for a living, so I simply never stopped. From original fiction and poetry, I branched out to writing fanfiction, and have been publishing it online since 2016. In 2019, I graduated valedictorian from Full Sail University, where I wrote prose, short films and TV scripts, comics, games, copywriting, and got elbow-deep in the mechanics of storytelling.
These days, I write my personal projects in my free time, while I work my office job to keep the lights on. One day, I hope writing can become my full-time career! Until then, I hope you enjoy what I have to share with you all. ♥
