Ellie Lawrence

Hi, I'm Ellie, a 23-year-old engineer who likes math, science, and problem-solving, but also reading a five-book series back-to-back in a weekend. And now, writing my own too! I've never thought of myself as a writer, but I've always had stories in my head just begging to be told. Maybe if I write them down, they'll let me have some peace. :)

I joined Wattpad back in 2018 when I wanted to start sharing my writing anonymously online. By the end of 2019, I'd finished my very first novel, won the Wattys, and become a Wattpad Star! In 2020, I started my grad degree while also working full time, so updates can't be as frequent as I'd like. For sporadic updates on how that's going, check my Instagram, where my handle is elle_lawrence

~ If you want me to read & review your story, I will 1000% roast you on your grammar and spelling before I can even begin to process more complex story elements. It's just how my brain works. You've been warned. Don't ask me to review your work unless you can handle brutal honesty and are willing to listen to me gush about Grammarly~
