About Me
Elizabeth Lovatt is a writer of fiction and creative non-fiction currently living in London. Her first book Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line is due to be published by Dialogue Books in 2025. It has been described as “a timely and vital exploration of how lesbian identity continues to remake and redefine itself in the 21st century” and is based on a real 90s lesbian helpline. In November 2020 she was accepted onto Penguin Books’ #WriteNow mentorship scheme and has an MA in Creative and Critical Writing from Birkbeck. Her dissertation was awarded the Lynne Segal BiGS Prize in Gender and Sexuality.
She also runs the tiny narrative — a monthly newsletter of personal despatches for narrative obsessives. In 2019 she was a writer-in-residence for Islington Pride and the ruckus! archive and is the creator of the fanzine LOVE TOVE celebrating writer and artist Tove Jansson.
The rest of the time she’s on twitter, instagram or reading.
She is represented by Abi Fellows at DHH Literary Agency.
