I’m Elaine, a writer and editor, born in London and currently based in Tasmania, devouring books and coffee like there's no tomorrow. I have a natural attraction for amplifying nuance, so consider me a mixologist of various cultural influences infused with my own irreplaceable self.

My extended interests are in emotional intelligence, personal development, the female experience, modern culture, and the ways in which we can learn from our experiences to become more authentic versions of ourselves. It's these overarching topics that tend to fuel my reading choices (alongside lesser known authors and some big names too!)

You can find more about what I'm reading over on my instagram (@cestelaine) & more words online at www.coffeeandbooks.co
