Ellen grew up in Sheffield on the border of the Peak District and still misses the moors. As a child, she spent a lot of time writing long, rambling stories, which somehow over the years have evolved into proper books. These days she lives in Bristol with her young family and you can find her writing around the edges of life.

​

Ellen's debut YA novel THE SEEKER AND THE SHADE will be published by Guppy Books in May 2026. She is represented by Bryony Woods of BWLA.
