Chloe De Lullington is a writer, chronic overthinker, and queen of the chaotic coming-of-age narrative. Her debut novel Cacoethes (Northodox Press, June 2025) is a bold, funny, and unflinching exploration of queer longing, bad decisions, and the mess of early adulthood.

Chloe’s background spans screenwriting and fiction. Whether she’s writing in silence or swapping blurbs in the wild world of indie lit, her work pulses with honesty, humour, and a refusal to tidy up the mess too neatly.
