ABOUT

Hello! I'm Merle Summers (also known as The Unbound Writer online), a fiction author and creative mind dedicated to weaving stories that capture the complexities of the human soul. Writing has been my lifelong passion, and I find endless joy in crafting narratives that resonate with readers on a deep emotional level. Whether I'm exploring the eerie depths of Gothic fiction or breathing life into vibrant characters, storytelling is where my heart truly belongs.

I am currently pursuing my B.A. in English Creative Writing and plan to continue my academic journey by earning my Master's in English after I graduate. My academic pursuits have nurtured my love for literature, especially Gothic short stories and the works of authors like Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Edgar Allan Poe. I am fascinated by the dark, haunting beauty of their writing and strive to infuse that same atmospheric depth into my own stories.

Beyond my writing and studies, I am an avid horror movie enthusiast and a dedicated fantasy reader. I find inspiration in stories that delve into the mysterious, the macabre, and the magical. Immersing myself in these worlds allows me to expand my imagination and deepen my storytelling skills.

My greatest source of inspiration, however, comes from my family. They are my unwavering support system, my reason to smile, and the heart of my world. The love and laughter we share fuel my creativity and remind me of the importance of human connection in every story I tell.

With a background in English Creative Writing and experience as a Fiction Editor, I strive to create polished, immersive narratives that leave a lasting impact. Whether you're here to explore my work or seeking editing services to bring your own stories to life, I'm excited to connect with you.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope my words leave you inspired.
