E Ce Miller is a writer, reader, and storyteller fascinated with infinite selves, motherhood, and whether derangement might be the most fun response to the strangeness of being alive. Having mapped her life across five continents, E Ce is currently based in Washington, D.C., where she’s working on a collection of short fiction and a novel. When she's not writing, she's reading.
Her work has been performed in the Liars' League reading series in London and published in Bustle, Culture Trip, Does It Have Pockets?, Heavy Feather Review, Lunch Ticket, Midwestern Gothic, Pacifica Literary Review, and elsewhere. She is a contributor to the anthologies CREDO: An Anthology of Manifestos & Sourcebook for Creative Writing (C&R Press, 2018) and How Long Will I Cry? Voices of Youth Violence (Big Shoulders Books, 2013). E Ce is a recipient of StoryStudio Chicago’s Doro Boehme grant for short fiction, and her short story “Tiny Furies” was recognized as a Liars’ League Best Story of the Year in 2024.
As a staff writer for Bustle Digital Group, E Ce wrote about books, authors, the publishing industry, and feminism, and has helped celebrate the words of others through the Afghan Women’s Writing Project, the PEN America Prison Writing Program, Big Shoulders Books, and other creative nonprofits. As a ghostwriter, E Ce has written or co-written eleven books published by independent, micro, and hybrid presses, including an award-winning memoir. She worked as a copyeditor for the micro-press Alpha Sisters Publishing and currently serves as the Interviews Editor for Four Way Review, as well as reading for Split/Lip Press and Four Way Review.
E Ce holds bachelor’s degrees in Peace, Justice & Conflict Studies and English and a master's degree in Writing & Publishing from DePaul University.
She’s met many of her greatest teachers while…
hiking across Costa Rica and Nicaragua
traveling through the Great Rift Valley in a pickup truck
showering beneath a waterfall in Gracias, Lempira
carrying a giant silk blanket across Morocco on her back
climbing Machu Picchu
sleeping under the stars in the Sahara
listening to an ancient love story in Ollantaytambo
Occupying Wall Street
marching for the collective rights of Stateless Peoples in the Amazon rainforest
swimming with sea lions in the Galápagos
riding a motorbike in Kenya
flying in a Cessna over Nazca
missing a flight in Lima
leaving violets on Jim Morrison’s grave
walking the paths of the Berlin Wall and the DMZ
standing on exact opposite sides of la Mitad del Mundo
and studying with a community of monks at Beopjusa Temple.
