Elspeth Wilson

*some news as they say* So excited to share the cover for my debut novel out with @simonschusterUK in July 25! I'm in love - it captures the vibe of the novel perfectly. Described as The Secret History meets the Crucible, pre-orders are also open (link in bio)!!!

ICYMI - I did, I was at @WigtownBookFest! The latest Read On is out now with Elspeth Wilson on the atmospheric and dark 'These Mortal Bodies' @Elspethwriter @RNIBRadio @RNIBLibrary audioboom.com/posts/8781765

6. These Mortal Bodies by Elspeth Wilson i was lucky enough to get a very early proof of this book and really enjoyed it. a coming of age story with a dark academia twist, where sisterhood holds the potential to turn into something much darker

I can hardly wait for proofs of my novel to arrive in early 2025! (I suppose Xmas in between softens the wait a little). In the meantime, if obsession, toxic friendships and secret societies are your kind of These Mortal Bodies is available to pre-order and request on Netgalley!

@PoetBex @writtenoffbooks Ah this is so lovely to hear! I'm so glad you got all the pop culture references, I think you're the first reader who has confirmed that!

Absolutely loved Too Hot To Sleep by @Elspethwriter (@writtenoffbooks). These poems masterfully thread together teenage experiences, queer identity, ecocriticism and neurodivergence. I'm also proud of myself for understanding all the pop culture references!

Don't forget to pre-order your Terdoggin! Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, & all the sandwiches in between. (This year, we're also offering miniature terdoggins!)

To everyone horrified by the treatment of Peanut the squirrel -- think of all the other animals trapped in our food systems, labs, breeding mills, and more. Use this as an opportunity to expand your moral circle.

Maybe because every children’s book on sale in the UK is called FAT NAN’S MASSIVE CHRISTMAS FART: BOTTOM’S UP

stop looking for a job and start looking for the love of your life who you are gonna die in the arms of in the next five years when then world ends

People who become quite good writers tend to be those who have spent a lot of time being quite bad writers and did not, as a result, run away from themselves. Never underestimate the power of having a strong stomach for your own shortcomings.

mannn I keep being like why do I feel so depressed and then I'm like oh yeah it's because the world is very bad

So looking forward to reading this! Sounds exactly up my street. Congratulations Natalie!!
