Ellen Wiles grew up in Reading and did a music degree at Oxford before turning to human rights and working as a lawyer in Thailand, Botswana, Myanmar and London. Her debut novel, The Invisible Crowd, was inspired by a case she worked on as a barrister, and was a Guardian Readers’ book of the year and winner of the Victor Turner Prize for ethnographic writing. She is also the author of Saffron Shadows (2015), a book about literature, censorship and culture in Myanmar. She is a lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Exeter, and is the mother of two small children.
