About
E. C. Colton grew up searching for comfort and encouragement within fictional worlds, reminders of hope on the other side of difficult situations. Now, as the author of the novella Shards of Sky and a student at the Author Conservatory, she writes literary fiction stories about characters who mature and grow through their challenges.
You can find her obsessing over all things blue food and cats, telling entertaining stories from everyday life, and chatting about personal growth over on her mailing list, Elysfable, or Instagram (@eccoltonauthor)

For those looking for stories with...
- Characters learning and growing through their struggles, rather than relying on external circumstances like a new love interest to “solve” their problems
- Characters who make mature decisions you can actually root for
- Hope-filled, uplifting themes of personal growth
- Subtle magical elements that enhance real-life struggles and experiences
- Lyrical writing that “feels like reading poetry” and points you toward the wonder and beauty in your own life
