I’m interested in imagination. What is it? Where is it? How do we go there? Is it possible to live there?

I write a fortnightly Substack about the imaginal otherworld and how to go beyond. Sign up at the link below. This is the best way to get to know me.

I’ve written about stories and imagination for the Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, LitHub, and elsewhere.

My advice column in the Los Angeles Review of Books, Ask Ellie, drew on myth, folk tales, and classic literature for life guidance.

I’ve studied and worked with the world’s greatest poets, mythologists, storytellers, and novelists. With ancestral lineage healers and shamans and activists.

I hold a master’s degree in imagination as well as a couple of degrees in literature.

Now, after pursuing stories and imagination around the world for eleven years, I’m back home in England, where I live in a cottage on a moor.
