Louise Ellis Illustrator & Author

Louise Ellis grew up in Bristol and the city’s culture and surrounding countryside inspire much of her writing. After studying English Literature at Sussex University, she trained as a journalist. For many years, she worked as a TV producer on lifestyle and current affairs programmes. Then Louise decided to follow a dream and she took a career break to spend a year in New York studying art. She has also created the popular travel blog, the cosmic city, which seeks to find cultural connections between Bristol and places around the world. Louise has taken several courses in creative writing at the Faber Academy in London. Overlapping Circles is her first novel.
