Ella Leith
Ella Leith is a writer of fiction, creative nonfiction, and occasional poetry. Drawing on her background in folklore and oral history, her work explores how the past exists in the present, and how the weird and uncanny are found in the mundane. Originally from the Midlands of England, she lived in Edinburgh, Scotland, for sixteen years, and now lives on the island of Malta with her partner and several hundred notebooks.
I’m absolutely thrilled: I found out this month that the opening of my work-in-progress, The Boy at the Wynyates, got shortlisted in Searchlight’s Best Novel Opening for Children or Young Adults 2024!
