About Ellie Blackwood

Hi there!

If you hadn't guessed already from the massive letters on top of this page, my name is Ellie Blackwood. I like writing books, reading books, and taking pretty photos of books. I also like to swim and drink worryingly large quantities of tea.

This is mah face (feat. my favorite mug):


Some random facts about me:

  • I'm half English and half American. 
  • My favorite word is “hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia,” because it means a fear of long words and I find that very funny. 
  • I can juggle.
  • I have grapheme-color synesthesia.
  • Some of my favorite YA books include Warcross, These Violent Delights, A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, Eliza and Her Monsters, The Belles, and The Love Interest.
  • Some of my favorite movies are Ex Machina, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Inception.
  • I have cute dogs, who also like to read. This is Trish:


You can find me on Instagram @looseleafellie, Twitter @looseleafellie, and Goodreads.

If you like what I do and want to support me, please feel free to buy me a coffee!

Review policy

I don't accept review requests directly from authors. Publishers are welcome to contact me about reviews, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to say yes. As much as I'd love to read ALLLL the books, I'm just one person and my reading time is very limited ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
