Eliza Marley is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago and a current master’s student at UIC. Eliza enjoys writing with the influences of surrealism and magic realism. Much of her work deals with routine and habit turning against us and our daily lives being invaded by the strange. She enjoys using the naturally surreal landscape of the American Midwest as her background in many stories. When not writing, Eliza enjoys baking, kayaking, playing the harp, and spending time with her cat Theo.
