About Elle McNicoll

Elle is a Scottish and Neurodivergent writer happily living in London. She graduated with a first in Creative Writing and has worked as a bookseller bartender blogger and babysitter-all while writing stories for her own amusement. After completing her Masters dissertation on the lack of Own Voices representation for Neurodivergent children she grew tired of the lack of inclusivity in the industry and wrote a book herself. Her first children's novel A Kind of Spark was published in June 2020 by award-winning indie press Knights Of and stars two openly autistic young women. After publication A Kind Of Spark swiftly became the Blackwell's Children's Book of the Month in June and the Waterstones Children's Book of the Month in October. Additionally it was announced as both The Times and The Sunday Times' Children's Book of the Week!
