Louisa.png

Louisa Bello is a British Nigerian humanitarian, English teacher, aunt, friend, and devoted Nina Simone worshipper. Raised in south London and now based in Brighton, she lives with her fur baby, Bella, and is widely known for her Be Kind mantra-alongside an enduring hatred of snakes and the word moist.

She holds a First-Class degree in Creative Writing from Birkbeck, University of London, and a master's in creative writing from Goldsmiths. For several years, Louisa led successful creative writing workshops for Africa Writes at the British Library and served as a trustee for the charity Pelican Post, organising author book signings at Camp Bestival.

Where The Shadows End was longlisted for the Pat Kavanagh Prize for Writing Excellence under its former title, London Planes, and was supported by an Arts Council Time to Write grant.
