edit data

E.L. Black is a student and self-published author from a small town in Hampshire, England. Specialising in psychological horror, thrillers, satire, and feminist fiction, her writing is defined by its sharp focus on female representation and unapologetically complex characters. Currently studying English Literature and Creative Writing, she plans to pursue a Master’s degree in Journalism. Black’s work often explores themes of female rage, revenge, and power, weaving feminist undertones throughout her stories. Her debut novel, Rage Ruins Pretty Girls, is a gripping feminist legal thriller that delves into the dark corners of justice, empowerment, and the complexities of womanhood.
