Hi there! I’m Elliott Dunstan, an Ottawa-based poet, historian, author, cook, proud anarchist, drag performer, and otherwise man of many hats. I’m a Classics major who graduated in 2019, and as a minor act of protest, I’m now a rogue academic at large. Among my magnificent chapeaus I am also openly queer, disabled, mixed-race, and anti-capitalist. So if you’re here to find dirt on me, the downside is I’m very loud and annoying about all of this already.

More professionally: I’m an independent author, with several books of my own (you can find them all listed here, along with buy links) and my debut full-length novel coming out from Poplar Press in 2026. I’ve been writing since I was a child and publishing since 2015 or so, with a fanfiction career far longer than that which I cheerfully credit for both my practice with prose and my low tolerance for nonsense.

This site features a few different things of interest — my bibliography of publications here; my rundown of editing services here; my media and music reviews and other posts on anarchism, social justice and more, and finally, a third-person bio for anyone who might happen to need one (just below!)

If you’d like to contact me, you can email me at elliott.dunstan@gmail.com, or contact me on Bluesky at @fiversdream.

Third-person bio:

“Elliott Dunstan is an Ottawa-based poet, historian and author, previously published in Bywords.ca, Strange Horizons, Renaissance Press, and Queen of Swords Press. Elliott is a mixed-race autistic trans man who tries to speak to all of these things in his novels and poetry, which can be found at elliottdunstan.com.”

In the occasion that I do not provide one or the one I have provided is not appropriate, this one is available to use by any literary or media outlet.
