Elaine Walker: Summary
Wales
Available to work internationally


Summary

Elaine is based in North Wales, where she has lived all her life. She has been a freelance writer since 1997 and published widely in hard copy and online. Her work includes fiction, poetry and non-fiction.

Much of her non-fiction is concerned with equestrian history and culture, in particular her book, Horse (Reaktion Books, 2008).

As a fiction writer, she is particularly interested in magical realism and storytelling which is not bounded by reality. Her first novel, coincidentally called The Horses, is forthcoming from Cinnamon Press in 2010.

She has a doctorate in English Literature and her academic work on early modern horsemanship manuals crosses into her interest in the fantastic in the lives and writing of the first Duke and Duchess of Newcastle.

She has an interest in nature writing and poetry which focuses primarily on the moorland area of her home.

Elaine lectures for the Open University, the University of Wales and the Open College of the Arts. She runs her own online writing courses and is an Academi Mentor.
