I’m all about the story.
I’m a writer and book coach based in East Sussex.
My first book, Elisabeth’s Lists, was published by Granta in 2018. It was one of The Spectator’s Books of the Year, described as ‘hauntingly beautiful’ by the Guardian and reviewed widely across the press.
My second book, a memoir called Grounding: Finding home in a garden, was published by Granta on 7th April 2022. The Observer called it a ‘literary hymn to gardening’.
September 2023 sees the launch of Nature’s Calendar, a collaborative nature book based on the Japanese microseason calendar. In 72 essays we track the changes we’ve observed around us in the natural world, five days at a time.
