A writer, comedian, and content creator based in the Midwest, Elyse Myers built an audience of some twelve million followers with comedic sketches and personal storytelling, and has spoken publicly about neurodivergence and body image. Her debut book, That's a Great Question, I'd Love to Tell You (William Morrow, 2025), became a New York Times bestseller. The book collects essays alongside poems and drawings, treating awkwardness and anxiety as subjects rather than obstacles. She first reached a wide audience through a story about a disastrous first date, told on TikTok.
