Eleanor Tucker

Hello, I’m Eleanor, or usually Elle. I’m an author and writer of many sorts. As a journalist, I’ve written about travel, parenting, feminism, health & beauty, society, sustainability, lifestyle and tech, for media outlets such as The Guardian, The Observer, The Telegraph, The ipaper, Grazia, Red, Marie Claire, Psychologies and many more. I’ve also worked for Channel 4 and the BBC.

 

As a copywriter and advertising creative, I worked both in-house and freelance for award-winning marketing agencies creating campaigns for travel, financial services, FMCG, public sector, utilities, you name it. I’ve also written film scripts, restaurant reviews, poetry… even songs (although I don’t do the musical part). You could say I’ve pretty much written everything and anything, and it's my favourite thing to do.

 

My debut book, a narrative non-fiction called Thanks for Sharing, was published by Quarto in April 2023, and my second book, a novel, is in the pipeline. As part of the author community I host book talks, and you’ll also hear me on podcasts and speaking at events.

 

My consultancy work focuses on the sharing economy, the subject of my first book, and I help companies in this space with their business model and brand, as an advisor and mentor.

And finally, a little bit about me. I am originally from Oxford, and I now live in Edinburgh (where I went to university) with my husband and two teenage children. I think 'surf and turf' and fireworks are over-rated but love pine nuts, guinea pigs (not to eat) and Frasier.
