About Me

About Me (Abridged Version)

Laura Ellis freelance content writer

I’ve been writing for a living my whole working life, covering all manner of topics. After graduating from Aberystwyth University with a first class degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, I did a couple of short stints in office jobs in Cardiff (one fun, one awful) before moving to Manchester. I lived there for 10 years working as a freelance content writer until I took a break to write full-time for lovefood.com

 

Now back on the freelance wagon and living about 40 minutes away (by train because I can’t drive) in my very own house in Darwen, Lancashire, I’m looking for opportunities to work for publications and brands focusing on food, travel, culture and lifestyle – and maybe how I’m going to turn my new house from dull grey-and-white rental chic into a home with a bit more colour.

This is one of several places I’ve called home over the years. I grew up in Devon, Gloucestershire and then Switzerland, and completed my A levels in Lincolnshire before going to uni. I’m loving getting to know East Lancashire (and beyond) and trying new experiences, from eating my first butter pie to walking on the moors.

 

When I’m not writing, you can find me in the kitchen (cooking or eating), reading in bed, making plans for sewing projects that I probably won’t finish, cuddling with my three cats, or searching old newspapers for interesting tales of my ancestors – ask me about the one with the accidental opium poisoning.

Say hello to my team - they're a little furrier than most. Their main job is to remind me to take breaks and keep up the nap quota.
