“Elle Nash writes like she climbed out of a black hole simply to invent the knife.”
—The Observer

Elle Nash is a British-American author and editor known for her fearless exploration of desire, identity, and the human condition. Her most recent novel, Deliver Me, is a "darkly vivid examination of faith, obsession, and alienation" and was nominated for Fiction Book of the Year by the Saltire Society.

Nash’s debut, Animals Eat Each Other (2018), was featured in O – The Oprah Magazine and called a “complex, impressive exploration of obsession and desire” by Publishers Weekly. She is also the author of the short story collection Nudes (2021) and the novella Gag Reflex (2022), which experiments with narrative through the early internet and LiveJournal entries. Her work has appeared in Guernica, BOMB, Literary Hub, Cosmopolitan, MsLexia, The Spectator, Columbia Journal, Southwest Review, New York Tyrant and more.

As an editor at The Creative Independent, Nash has interviewed literary and cultural icons such as Sasha Grey, Gordon Lish, Atticus Lish, and Eugene Marten, as well as Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis at other outlets. Her work often centers on cross-genre, underrepresented, & working-class narratives she feels are vital to modern storytelling. Nash has shaped literary conversations since 2014, serving as a fiction editor for various magazines and co-founding the now-shuttered Witch Craft Magazine.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Nash is pursuing a PhD in creative writing and actively mentoring, editing, and working with writers on their paths to publication, many of whom have successfully found representation, been long-listed for awards, and published at houses such as Bloomsbury, 404 Ink, Apocalypse Party, Crooked Lane Books, and Verso Books.
